Horizon Bancorp has launched a national search for a new chief financial officer after leaders of the Michigan City bank said they agreed to part ways with their current CFO. The transition comes at a time of restructuring as another high-ranking employee leaves the company.
CFO Mark Secor has worked for Horizon Bancorp for 16 years and will provided transitional support through April 30. A company press release announcing the change did not give a reason for Secor’s departure.
“During his tenure, Horizon grew by nearly six-fold to become the $8 billion bank holding company it is today,” President and CEO Thomas Prame said of Secor. “As we commence a national search for a new CFO, we are fortunate to have the benefit of Mark’s continued leadership and counsel. I look forward to working closely with him during the transition and exploring how Mark can continue to help accelerate Horizon’s strategic growth plans.”
The announcement comes as Horizon makes plans to restructure its mortgage and consumer lending division. Noe Najera, who served as executive vice president and senior retail and mortgage lending officer, recently left the company. Divisional teams have since reported to other Horizon leaders.
“We appreciate Noe’s efforts since joining Horizon in 2016, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors,” Prame said. “Our organization has a strong and tenured depth of leadership in our mortgage, warehouse and consumer lending divisions. I am confident in their continued success and ability to exceed the needs of the clients and communities we serve.”
