Green Bank, a $266 million-asset, environmentally focused bank in Houston, has hired Geoffrey D. Greenwade as its president and chief executive officer.
Mr. Greenwade, whose hiring Green Bank announced Friday, had been the regional manager of business banking for the Houston region at Wells Fargo & Co.
He succeeded Robert V. New Jr., who resigned this year to become the president and CEO of F.N.B. Corp. in Hermitage, Pa. Mr. New helped form Green Bank’s parent company, Green Bancorp Inc., in 2006 with Manuel Mehos.
Last year Mr. New led an initiative to implement an ecologically friendly focus at the bank. He also traded in his Chevrolet Tahoe for a hybrid. When Mr. New announced his resignation, Mr. Mehos said that the hybrid belonged to the bank, and that he would start driving it.
“The Prius is in the garage waiting” for Mr. Greenwade, according to Mr. Mehos, who plans to buy a hybrid for himself.
