In his new role, Cohen will partner with MT's Community Bank leadership team-which includes members from its retail, business banking, wealth management, and charitable teams-to continue developing MT's business and engagement in The Pine Tree State. Cohen will continue to serve in his role as commercial senior group manager - Commercial Real Estate New Hampshire/Maine.

Cohen assumes this new role following the retirement of Dan Thornton earlier this year.

He most recently served as group manager for the Commercial Real Estate teams in Maine and New Hampshire.
