Terrell-based American National Bank of Texas has hired Marcelo D. Mills as emerging markets president to increase and support business relationships throughout Southern Dallas. The emerging markets team will focus on growing and underrepresented markets across the metroplex, with an emphasis on Southern Dallas County.
“Marcelo’s background—both professionally and personally—is ideal to lead our emerging markets team,” says Robert Hulsey, president and CEO. “He has the financial expertise and acumen, knows what it takes to be a successful business owner and, most importantly, he’s passionate about serving others.”
“Growing up in a first-generation Mexican-American family in North Texas, most of whom are business owners, I saw firsthand the barriers they faced,” Mills notes. “Many minority-owned businesses, particularly in parts of Dallas, don’t have the solutions or support they need. There’s a huge demand for a bank that provides superior financial services and delivers an authentic, customer-first experience, and I think ANBTX, with its legacy and commitment to businesses, is that bank.”
Mills attended Texas A&M University–Commerce and grew up in Haslet. He has spent most of his career in commercial and business banking and has served on multiple boards for local and national nonprofit organizations. Two years ago, he founded Integro Bank in Phoenix, where he was senior vice president of business banking. He returned to North Texas earlier this year.
Established in 1875, American National Bank of Texas operates 30 locations throughout North Texas, serving Collin, Dallas, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Rockwall, Tarrant and Van Zandt counties.
