Old National Bank is expanding its footprint west of the Mississippi River by opening a commercial banking office in the greater Kansas City, MO, region. To lead its expansion efforts, Old National Bank hired Steve Liggett, who will serve as market president, and David Robinson, who will serve as a corporate relationship manager.

Liggett previously spent 23 years in middle-market commercial banking with Wells Fargo Bank in various roles, including managing Wells Fargo’s commercial banking group and working as a credit analyst, relationship manager and credit manager. For the past five years, Liggett managed the captive finance business of Murphy Hoffman Company, which supports a Kenworth heavy truck dealership group.

Robinson has more than 20 years of local banking experience and has held several leadership roles at Wells Fargo, GE Capital and CIBC. He was also a founder of an accounts receivable finance/factoring business in Kansas City, MO.

“As we looked to expand and grow our commercial capabilities into Kansas City, it was important for us to add local, established bankers who know the market,” Jim Ryan, CEO of Old National Bank, said. “Steve and David each have extensive commercial banking experience and impressive track records in servicing Kansas City-based clients. We are excited to welcome them to Old National.”
