Yesterday the Bank of America announced it was replacing Ed Timberlake as Central Florida market president with John Moskos.

Timberlake leaves the firm at 62, having declared he was entering retirement a fortnight ago. He has served for seven years as the bank’s Central Florida market president, and has had a career covering four decades. In that time he has worked for SunTrust, Barnett Bank and NationsBank.

Moskos will take control of the Metro Orlando operation of America’s single largest bank.

The Bank of America described their latest appointment as a veteran of the financial services industry who has vast experience as an executive with especial knowledge of investment advice, portfolio guidance and other banking services for affluent customers.

Since March 2006 Moskos has been the bank’s leading private banking official. Halfway through 2004 he joined Bank of America as senior vice president and city executive for its Central Florida private banking unit.

Prior to joining the bank he worked for FleetBoston Financial as a senior private banking executive, working in Massachusetts and New York. FleetBoston and Bank of America merged in 2004.

Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s Moskos held a range of retail and commercial positions with Chase Manhattan Bank. He was also the firm’s regional market president for six years in Albany, N.Y.

Susan Walker, Bank of America’s Florida president, described Mosko as an effective champion for growing businesses, adding that the bank was lucky to have a man with such a strong track record to lead the team locally.
