ITHACA, N.Y. — After 27 years of service to the company, Francis M. Fetsko will retire this fall from his roles as chief financial officer and chief operating officer at Tompkins Financial Corp, the banking company’s board of directors announced.

“Frank’s exceptional leadership and business acumen through times of economic change have been instrumental to our continued success as a high-performing company,” Tompkins Financial Corp. Chair Thomas Rochon said in a release. “I would like to thank him personally, and on behalf of the board, for his contributions to Tompkins Financial Corp. which leave us well positioned for the future.”

While Fetsko will step back from his full-time roles, he has agreed to stay with the company through the end of 2024 in a part-time capacity as director of strategy development. The company will undertake a succession-planning process to identify candidates to fill his role upon his retirement, considering both internal and external candidates.
