Trustar Bank names senior adviser

Great Falls-based Trustar Bank announced Tuesday it has hired Samuel A. Schreiber as senior adviser.

Schreiber was most recently president of Chain Bridge Bank, but spent 25 years of his career with Wachovia as well as Wells Fargo after their 2008 merger. He was Washington, D.C., president and mid-Atlantic regional president with Wachovia and became a regional executive with Wells Fargo. In his new role he will focus on opportunity introduction and acquisition.

“Business development through relationship building is at the heart of community banking and is something that the Trustar team does very well,” Schreiber said in a statement. “I look forward to being a part of a team focused on enriching the experience of clients through exceptional service and forward-thinking solutions.”

Schreiber is also a former chairman of the Greater Washington Board of Trade and is a member of the board of Inova Hospital Foundation, the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the Washington Performing Arts Society and the DC College Access Program. He also chaired the Greater Washington Initiative and is a member of the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., and the Risk Management Association.

Schreiber earned a bachelor’s of business administration degree in finance from the University of Houston and graduated from the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Executive Leadership Program.

Trustar Bank is a full-service bank offering banking products and services to small- and medium-sized businesses and other customers. It is the first bank to be chartered and opened in Virginia in more than a decade.
