Webster Bank expanded its commercial and industrial middle-market banking team by hiring David Ferretti as senior vice president and market manager for New Haven, CT.

Ferretti will report to Douglas Scala, regional president of New England for Webster Bank, and be responsible for providing commercial banking services to middle-market clients and prospects throughout greater New Haven County in Connecticut. Working with colleagues across Webster Bank’s commercial banking divisions, Ferretti will provide working capital, equipment and acquisition financing, as well as cash, treasury and wealth management solutions.

“Dave’s experience and commitment to Connecticut’s middle market, specifically New Haven, will be critical to our goal of driving new business and revenue opportunities in the state we’ve called home since 1935,” Ed Blaskey, executive vice president and head of middle-market banking at Webster Bank, said.

Ferretti has 15 years of experience in building and managing middle-market relationships and teams with a focus on sales and strategy. Prior to joining Webster Bank, he was a team leader and senior vice president of middle-market commercial lending at People’s United Bank in New Haven, CT.
