Manzelmann brings more than 40 years of banking experience across commercial, business and retail banking, along with deep ties to the Mohawk Valley. Most recently, he served as Market President at M&T Bank, where he led a team of business banking relationship managers and oversaw a $325 million business banking portfolio. Earlier in his career, Manzelmann served as a Corporate Lending Officer at NBT Bank.

“Our approach has always been to lead with talent that understands both banking and the communities we serve,” said Kavney. “That longstanding commitment to local leadership and local decision making is central to how we serve the Mohawk Valley. Dave is a respected leader with a proven record of success, and his presence in the region reinforces our ability to make decisions close to our customers, colleagues and communities.”

“I’m grateful for the warm welcome from the NBT team and excited to return to an organization with such a strong commitment to the Mohawk Valley,” said Manzelmann. “I look forward to building on the region’s momentum and working alongside this talented group of bankers to support customers and communities across the region.”

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Manzelmann is actively engaged in the community. He currently serves on several regional boards and committees, including Mohawk Valley EDGE, Mohawk Valley HealthCare Foundation, Munson and the Masonic Medical Research Institute.

Manzelmann will partner closely with NBT’s established Mohawk Valley leadership team to support customers, colleagues and communities throughout the region.

NBT Bank has served the Mohawk Valley since 1993 and currently operates 10 offices across Oneida and Herkimer counties. Manzelmann will be based at the bank’s Utica Financial Center, located at 270 Genesee Street in Utica.
