Tompkins Financial promoted Matthew Tomazin to executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of Tompkins Financial, effective Oct. 1. Tomazin is currently senior vice president and treasurer of the company. Prior to joining Tompkins, Tomazin spent more than a decade in bank financial management, gaining expertise in financial modeling, asset and liability management, profitability modeling, governance and controls, and strategic planning and execution.

In his new role, Tomazin will serve as the senior executive responsible for managing the financial activities and strategies of the company by providing strategic financial guidance, overseeing financial operations, and making decisions to drive the company’s growth and profitability. He will report to Steve Romaine, president and CEO of Tompkins Financial.

“It is rewarding, and a testament to our succession planning process, to be able to identify such an outstanding talent from within our organization to assume this role,” Romaine said. “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.”

“Matt has been an outstanding contributor to Tompkins during his tenure here and I am confident of his continued success in the CFO role,” Frank Fetsko, retiring CFO and COO of Tompkins Financial, said. “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.”
