“We could not be happier about the addition of Chuck to our rapidly-expanding bank” said John Maxwell, John Marshall Bank’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “Chuck will add his considerable experience to our already strong lending team.    His expertise and relationships will prove invaluable as we expand our small business lending program.”

Chuck Wortman brings over thirty years of experience in the banking industry.  Most recently, he held the position of SVP/Commercial Lender at Acacia Federal Savings Bank, and before that, at Access National Bank, where his emphasis was on government contracting.  As a senior vice president, Wortman was responsible for the establishment of the Reston branch of Middleburg Bank.

“I am delighted to be joining John Marshall Bank.  This bank believes at its very core the importance of the customer first philosophy, and the talent that is here is incredible,” explained Wortman.  “Mark Moore, John Marshall Bank’s Chief Lending Officer, has a giant of a reputation in this industry, and I’m excited to be on his team.”

The addition of new senior leaders like Chuck Wortman is being seen as a demonstration of John Marshall Bank’s strength as a well-run bank that is meeting the challenges of today’s economy.  The bank recently opened a branch in Rockville, Maryland, a loan production office in Alexandria, and is scheduled to open its Reston corporate offices and a Reston branch this August.

“John Marshall Bank’s business model is based largely on people” Maxwell continued.  “We seek to hire talent, and expand the company based on the strengths of our bankers like Chuck.”
