Trio tries TIB

Three former bankers will attempt to help TIB Financial Corp. raise $150 million, a release said.

Marty Adams, Kevin Thompson, and John Loeber have entered into an agreement with the Naples-based company that would make them chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief credit officer, respectively, upon the raising of sufficient capital.

Adams previously served as CEO of Sky Financial Group Inc. from 1987 to 2007, growing the company's asset base from $200 million to $18 billion during his time with the firm. Thompson was chief financial officer at Sky Financial from 1998 to 2007, and Loeber has held a variety of senior level positions at several banks, including Indianapolis-based First National Bank.

TIB Financial Corp., which manages $1.7 billion in total assets, entered a non-binding agreement for the sale of $25 million in company stock with Patriot Financial Partners in April.
