BankUnited opened a new corporate banking office in Atlanta, representing a renewed effort to expand outside of its core markets of Florida and New York, and hired Adam Gordon to lead the new office as market executive and corporate banking team leader. The new team will be working from the bank’s newly opened office at 3500 Lenox Road, Suite 720, in Atlanta.

BankUnited is an independent depository institution headquartered in Florida, providing individuals, small businesses, middle-market companies, large corporations and institutions throughout Florida and New York with banking and related services, including corporate and commercial lending, deposit services and treasury management solutions. As of Dec. 31, 2021, BankUnited had $35.8 billion in total assets.

“As we grow our presence throughout the Southeast, BankUnited is looking forward to delivering our unique brand of relationship-driven banking solutions to middle-market and large companies doing business in the Atlanta metropolitan region,” Thomas M. Cornish, COO of BankUnited, said. “Starting with a robust corporate banking team, our Atlanta office will serve as a hub for corporate banking and treasury management and commercial real estate lending and will serve as home base for our healthcare banking team.”

With nearly two decades of experience, Gordon will be tasked with launching BankUnited’s corporate banking practice in the Atlanta metro region.

“We are thrilled to have Adam join us and lead our expansion efforts in Atlanta and the Southeast region,” Cristina di Mauro, senior executive vice president of the corporate and industrial line of business for BankUnited, said. “Adam has a strong track record for growing new markets and business segments by attracting and developing top talent and cultivating long-term client relationships, which is at the heart of BankUnited’s business.”
