Lyn Matteson began his career as a young banking professional at Key Bank. He spent his first 13 years advancing through positions, rising to Senior Vice President and District Sales Manager. Lyn mastered the management of small business lending, retail and private banking, as he managed 25 Key Bank branches and oversaw more than $680 million in loans and deposits. Lyn soon transitioned to Charter One Bank, where he was responsible for starting up the new Business Banking Division in 6 states. He was accountable for developing operational policy and procedure, underwriting standards, business banking loan and deposits product sets for the 40 billion dollar bank. Lyn then advanced to the Division Senior Vice President and Retail Banking Leader at Charter One Bank. Here he was accountable for managing sales, client service and the overall branch operations for 126 branches, $4 billion in deposits, and over 800 employees in Western NY. When Charter One Bank was acquired by Citizens Bank of New York in 2004, Lyn lead his team through the transition, becoming Senior Vice President and Director of Business Banking for New York State. He hired a team of 100 business bankers across New York and quickly positioned Citizens Bank as the top Small Business Administration lender in Upstate New York. Throughout his career Lyn has shown consistent leadership and exemplary vision. In an effort to continually further his repertoire, his most recent undertaking is founding Cobblestone Financial Group. Cobblestone is a product of his accumulated skills as a lending authority, his extensive professional connections in the banking arena, as well as a testament to his leadership characteristics and trustworthy demeanor. Lyn completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication with a minor in Business at the State University College at Plattsburgh in Plattsburgh, NY. More recently, he completed a Senior Manager Strategy and Service Excellence Program at the Harvard School of Business in St. Andrews, Scotland. It was here that the strategy for Cobblestone Financial Group was developed. |
