BUFFALO, N.Y. — M&T Bank Corp. (NYSE: MTB) announced it recently elected Leslie Godridge and Rudina Seseri to its board of directors.
Godridge recently retired as vice chair and co-head of corporate and commercial banking at US Bancorp. She joined US Bancorp in 2007 as executive VP and head of national corporate special industries and global Treasury management, a role she held until 2016 when she became vice chair and co-head of corporate and commercial banking. Godridge previously spent 25 years at Bank of New York serving in a variety of senior managerial roles, culminating as head of consumer, commercial, private banking and asset management, according to M&T.
Seseri is the founder and managing partner of Glasswing Ventures, an early-stage venture-capital firm investing in artificial-intelligence enabled software companies. With more than 17 years of investing and transactional experience, Seseri has invested in and helped build successful companies with innovative technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, enterprise software, and digital-marketing technologies, M&T said. Prior to founding Glasswing Ventures, Seseri was a partner at Fairhaven Capital — a technology venture-capital firm — from 2007-2015.
The two board appointments went into effect Nov. 16, 2020. Godridge and Seseri were also elected to the board of M&T Bank, M&T’s main banking subsidiary.
