M&T Bank named Mark Hutton Delaware regional president. Hutton assumed the role following the retirement of Nick Lambrow, the bank’s former top executive in the state, on July 7.

Hutton, who joined the bank in 2008, has served as M&T’s executive vice president for commercial banking in Delaware since March 2022. In addition to that role, Hutton also will now be responsible for all aspects of the bank’s operations in Delaware, including strategic planning, business development, community markets, community engagement and client experience.

Hutton’s contributions at M&T include leading the commercial bank’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) initiative in 2020 and serving on the bank’s integration leadership team during M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust more than a decade ago.

As a leader in Delaware’s business community, Hutton co-founded the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce’s Intern Delaware program and serves on the chamber’s board of directors. Hutton also currently serves on the boards of the Delaware State University College of Business, the Children’s Beach House and St. John the Beloved Parish.

“Mark’s deep understanding of our culture and values will be invaluable as he and his team continue to provide exceptional service to M&T’s customers throughout Delaware,” Peter D’Arcy, senior executive vice president and head of commercial banking at M&T Bank, said. “His record of success and commitment — notably to initiatives like the Paycheck Protection Program — will help us continue to grow and thrive as an organization serving the Delaware community.”

Before joining M&T, Hutton, a 26-year banking industry veteran, worked for PNC Bank and Mercantile County Bank.

“It is an honor to lead our Delaware team and follow in the footsteps of Nick Lambrow,” Hutton said. “I’m excited to bring the collective resources of M&T Bank to Delaware as we deliver great outcomes for clients, communities and colleagues.

“Delaware is a strategically important market for M&T Bank and notably serves as the headquarters for our Wilmington Trust businesses. We have a strong leadership team, talented colleagues, tremendous client relationships and deep community connections here that have helped us create a leading brand in the market.”
