The board of Tampa-based NorthStar Bank has selected Scott Jacobsen as president and CEO, replacing longtime banker David Stone, who is returning to retirement after a 21/2-year stint running the bank.
Jacobsen, 52, has had a 30-year banking career that includes roles at Merrill Lynch, Bank of Tampa, Barnett Bank and AmSouth Bank.
Opened in 2007, NorthStar has more than $200 million in assets. Stone will continue to serve on the bank board as the transition takes effect Oct. 11.
