BofA Names Schmelzle President of Southwest Florida

July 10, 2025, 06:58 AM

Bank of America has named Julie Schmelzle, senior relationship manager, Global Commercial Banking, president of Bank of America Southwest Florida. She succeeds Gerri Moll, who successfully led the market since 1997 and is retiring at the end of July after 41 years with Bank of America.

As president and head of the market, Schmelzle will connect clients, teammates and communities to the full power of the franchise and drive integration across the bank’s eight lines of business. She will oversee the company’s efforts to grow market share by fostering local connections and identifying opportunities to grow and deepen our client relationships.

“Throughout her career with Bank of America, Julie has established deep relationships with teammates, clients, and the community to deliver responsible growth,” said Brian Moynihan, Bank of America chairman and chief executive officer. “Julie is well positioned to build on Gerri’s success and continue to grow our market share in Southwest Florida, delivering the full breadth of Bank of America’s capabilities to help our local clients improve their financial lives. We thank Gerri for her remarkable 41 years of service with the company.”

Over the last 28 years as president, Moll has had a tremendous impact delivering the full breadth of Bank of America to our clients, growing market share, and representing our company in the community. She’s represented the Southwest Florida market on the Board of Governors, which oversees Florida’s 11 public universities, and has been recognized by local business and media organizations over the years for her exceptional leadership and the impact she’s had in the community.

In her Global Commercial Banking role, Schmelzle has responsibility for corporate client relationships with companies with revenues of $50 million to $2 billion across all major industries. She has deep expertise in agribusiness, retail, healthcare and financial intermediaries. Her career spans over 30 years of advising corporate clients in operational efficiency, treasury, capital structure, markets and risk management.
