SunTrust executive switches coasts

One of the more community-connected chief executives in the Sarasota-Bradenton region, Margaret Callihan, has relocated to Florida's east coast.

Callihan had been president and CEO of SunTrust Bank's Southwest Florida region, which stretches from Manatee to Collier counties, since 2005. Her new post, a promotion, takes her to SunTrust's Miami-Palm Beach region, where she was named South Florida division president.

“I'm really looking forward to it,” Callihan tells Coffee Talk. “It's a much bigger metropolitan environment with a lot of good opportunities.”
