Valley Bank Expanding Women Entrepreneurs Program

BRANDON, FL -- Valley National announced that its popular Women Entrepreneurs (WE) program will expand throughout Florida later this year and to New York and New Jersey early in 2019.

With the WE program’s growth into new markets, Cami Gibertini has been promoted to senior vice president and director of women entrepreneurs, while Diane Keebler will replace Gibertini as first vice president and retail market manager for the bank’s Brandon location.

Gibertini, one of the leaders to design and launch WE, has been paramount to the program’s success and will continue to play a key role. Prior to leading WE, she applied her more than 25 years of banking experience to help open USAmeriBank’s Brandon location in 2008, which grew to become Brandon’s largest bank branch.

Gibertini personally recruited Keebler to become Brandon’s new first vice president and retail market manager because of Keebler’s 35 years of local experience and strong ties to the community.

Keebler previously served as branch manager at CenterState Bank in Brandon, where she focused on business development in the local market. In her new role at Valley National Bank, she will focus on current and new business opportunities for both business and personal customers, offering such services and products as SBA loans, treasury management and mortgage lending.

Keebler serves on the board of directors for the Brandon ’86 Rotary Club and the board of trustees for Brandon Regional Hospital. She is also a member of the Greater Brandon Chamber of Commerce. The position at Valley will enable her to further extend her community involvement and continue to grow her business and community relationships.
