First Niagara Financial Group Inc. in Lockport, N.Y., said Thursday that it has promoted Michael W. Harrington from senior vice president and treasurer to chief financial officer.
The appointment followed the surprise announcement this month that John Koelmel, the former CFO, had been named president, chief operating officer, and acting chief executive officer.
Mr. Harrington joined First Niagara in 2003. He has nearly 20 years of financial management and banking experience. First Niagara has $8 billion of assets.
