NORWICH, N.Y. — NBT Bancorp (NASDAQ: NBTB) announced that Tucker Lounsbury has joined the company as president of NBT-Mang Insurance Agency.

Lounsbury started working for NBT-Mang on Monday, the banking company said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry. He assumes the duties that Richard Mirabito previously handled before his retirement.

Lounsbury started his career in 1995 as a commercial lines production underwriter and management trainee with Cincinnati, Ohio–based Great American Insurance Company. In 1999, he became an insurance broker and agency owner in Central New York. In 2003, he sold the Lounsbury Insurance Agency to M&T Bank, which served as the hub for M&T Insurance Agency’s Syracuse regional office.
