Profile

Andrew Galardi leads a team of Relationship Managers within the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Banking group who work to understand a client’s business, and then proactively provide strategic guidance and financial solutions to help our clients achieve their goals. I started my career in banking in 2004, and as a Market Executive I support Relationship Managers across West & Central Michigan as they provide a consultative banking approach to their clients, focusing on developing unique strategies for business expansion, and providing financial tools to help ensure future success of the business throughout all economic cycles. The Business Banking team thrives to develop close relationships with business owners, executive management & key project managers to investigate how Bank of America can best service, and compliment the operations of each business by providing funding for capital investments and best in class Treasury Management services.
