Javier Holtz has been named chairman and CEO of North Miami Beach-based Marquis Bank, which he previously hoped to acquire.
An Indian Creek Village councilman and veteran banker, Holtz filed an application with federal and state regulators in October to acquire a controlling interest in Marquis Bank, a $64 million-asset institution that was founded in 2007. The application said he would invest $6.1 million in capital into the bank. However, he later withdrew the application, according to state regulators.
Holtz worked for 15 years at Miami-based Capital Bank, which was founded by his father. After Union Planters Bank acquired it in 1998, Holtz continued to work there for seven years. Most recently, he has led a private equity firm.
