Suneel Gill, a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in international banking, will lead this new group as the senior managing director. Later this year, Huntington plans to open a representative office in London to bolster its business development efforts.
Gordon DeKuyper, senior managing director of corporate, specialty, and government banking, emphasized Gill's extensive experience with international clients and his ability to build strong relationships within global organizations. This expertise is expected to enhance Huntington's coordinated approach to serving clients operating in cross-border environments.
The international corporate banking group aims to provide clients with essential insights for navigating international complexities, managing risks, and accessing capital in key regions. This development coincides with an increase in foreign direct investment into the U.S., as more foreign companies seek to establish or expand operations in the country.
Scott Kleinman, president of Huntington Commercial Bank, noted that the launch of this division represents a significant milestone in enhancing the bank's commercial banking capabilities. He expressed enthusiasm about supporting foreign companies in achieving their investment goals in the U.S.
