CFO to Leave Delaware's WSFS for Florida's Seacoast

The chief financial officer of WSFS Financial in Wilmington, Del., is leaving the bank holding company for Seacoast Banking in Stuart, Fla.

Steve Fowle has offered to stay with the $4.7 billion-asset WSFS thorough the remainder of the first quarter until a replacement can be found. In a press release Thursday announcing the move, WSFS said a "wide search" will be conducted for a new CFO.

On Jan. 29 the bank reported a profit of $12.7 million, an 11.4% increase from the year before, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

"While I look forward to this next step for me and my family," Fowle said in Thursday's press release, "I will always be proud to have been a part of WSFS during a decade of significant growth."

His future employer, Seacoast, has $2.4 billion in assets.
