Cleveland-based KeyBank, which has its Michigan headquarters in Southfield, today announced the expansion of its middle market commercial banking capabilities and team in southeast Michigan.

The expanded team will focus on serving companies between $10 million and $1 billion in annual revenue — often called the middle market — across southeast Michigan and surrounding communities. The move responds to rising demand for banking partners that combine local decision‑making with national capabilities.

“Middle market companies in southeast Michigan deserve a banking partner with both local authority and national scale,” says Ken Gavrity, president of Key Commercial Bank. “By investing in an experienced local team backed by the full depth of our platform — from payments to capital markets and M&A advisory — we are positioning KeyBank to support Michigan businesses at every stage of growth and accelerate our path to market leadership.”

The expansion responds to industry momentum across the Midwest, where middle market companies are seeking banks that can deliver relationship‑driven service alongside sophisticated financing and advisory solutions, according to the company.

Leading the Michigan expansion are:

  • Tony Catalina, commercial leader and southeast Michigan president, who brings more than 20 years of commercial banking experience across leading regional and national institutions.
  • Sean Hetzman, senior vice president, who brings more than 20 years of relationship management experience serving middle market clients in Detroit and other major markets.
  • Matthew Bielawa, relationship manager, who specializes in health care, education, not-for-profit, and middle market banking with nearly two decades of experience at major financial institutions.
  • Shannon Edwards, senior payments advisor, who brings more than 20 years of treasury management and payments expertise in the Michigan market.
  • Bryan Hatto, senior relationship manager, who brings more than 25 years of commercial banking experience in the Michigan market. His expertise spans multiple industries and includes credit, payments, leasing, and real estate coverage.

The team reports to David Mannarino, regional commercial executive and KeyBank Michigan market president, and is expected to play a role in accelerating KeyBank’s growth strategy while delivering enhanced service to middle market companies across southeast and west Michigan.

“This expansion means Michigan companies gain direct access to senior bankers who know their markets and can move quickly,” Mannarino says. “With this team in place, we’re combining long‑standing local relationships with the strength of KeyBank’s balance sheet and advisory capabilities — resulting in faster decisions and more comprehensive solutions for middle market clients.”
