LAS VEGAS – Maria Montelongo recently was promoted to Market Manager for Nevada State Bank’s retail operations in Southern Nevada. Montelongo joins a newly formed team that includes two other market managers in Southern Nevada, Donna Haberman and Andrew Chewning, led by area Retail Region Manager Ryan Jenkins.
Montelongo joined Nevada State Bank as a teller in 2009 and has been promoted to roles including personal banker, branch customer service manager, branch management trainee and branch manager of the Centennial Hills branch before taking on her current position.
In Montelongo’s new role as market manager she will assist NSB branches located on the northern side of Las Vegas and Mesquite, reinforcing and implementing processes and routines with a focus on growing revenue while providing extraordinary service.
