JPMorgan Chase & Co. has named former U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez as chairman of Chase Bank's Florida market and its operations in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, the bank said Monday.
As the banking giant's senior Florida executive, Martinez will also serve on JPMorgan Chase's corporate executive committee and work with its ``most senior level clients -- from businesses to large corporations to non-profits and governments,'' the bank said. Martinez will be based in Orlando.
The former Orange County mayor was the first Cuban American elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 after serving as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for President George W. Bush.
