Banker takes on Sarasota

Louisiana-based IberiaBank has made big inroads into Southwest Florida since it entered the market in 2009.

For starters, IberiaBank made a double-bank acquisition from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in 2009 when it took over Naples-based Orion Bank and Sarasota-based Century Bank. The bank significantly increased its presence in Lee County when it acquired Fort Myers-based Florida Gulf Bank in 2012. In total, the bank operates 28 offices in Collier, Lee, Manatee and Sarasota counties with $1.86 billion in deposits.

Now IberiaBank executive David Gordley has been appointed to lead an expanded area that includes Sarasota. He replaces IberiaBank's Sarasota market president, Jeff Radcliffe, who recently left the company.
