I’ve had the pleasure to engage with Matt, often directly, over the past four years and have been impressed with his financial acumen and thoughtful, thorough approach to financial issues. In addition, Matt has demonstrated his ability to contribute more broadly to strategic matters and I welcome him as a member of my senior leadership team,” said Romaine.

Frank Fetsko, retiring CFO and COO of Tompkins Financial stated, “Matt has been an outstanding contributor to Tompkins during his tenure here and I am confident of his continued success in the CFO role. He is well positioned to add value to the company for many years to come and I look forward to working with him over the next year in my part-time capacity as director of strategy development.”
