Ridge View Bank hires new SVP for New River Valley

Ridge View Bank has hired Todd Murray as senior vice president of commercial banking in the New River Valley, the Roanoke-based bank announced Wednesday.

Murray will lead an expansion of bank’s commercial banking services in the New River Valley and will be responsible for loan and deposit production, collaborating with the bank’s treasury, private banking and wealth partners.

For the past 27 years, Murray was market president of New River Valley for Danville-based American National Bank and Trust, which Atlantic Union Bank announced last July it would be acquiring.

“I grew up in the New River Valley and am excited to introduce Ridge View Bank to the area,” Ridge View Bank President Carrie McConnell said in a statement. “Moving into a new market, our goal is to find the best banker to build around. I am confident we have that person in Todd Murray.”

Murray holds an undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech and an MBA from James Madison University. He resides in Blacksburg.

Murray is a member of the Rotary Club of Blacksburg, Onward New River Valley’s investor relations and development committee and Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce’s legislative committee.

Ridge View Bank is a subsidiary of Pennsylvania-based CNB Financial that operates in Roanoke and Franklin counties.
