May 10, 2009 – James Crites, president and CEO of Merchants Commercial Bank has announced the appointment of Abigail Schnell OConnell as the St. John client development officer for the bank. Her responsibility will be to foster good relations between existing clients and the bank as well as to present new banking solutions to both existing and prospective clients on St. John.
OConnell graduated from Antilles School on St. Thomas and attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale before excelling in public relations with retailer Neiman Marcus. After leaving there, she began working in the highly competitive Fort Lauderdale real estate market, where she met quick success. This experience opened the door for her to return home to St. John and further her real estate career with Holiday Homes, where she has worked since 2002.
I look forward to having the opportunity to expand Merchants Commercial Banks sophisticated level of banking service to the St. John community, OConnell said. She joins the bank with eager intent to carry on its mission in continuing to provide the highest level of customer service while offering clients the most complete range of technologically advanced and convenient business products.
