FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Bank of America has named Jason Edelmann president of Bank of America Fort Lauderdale. As president and head of the market, Edelmann will connect clients, teammates, and communities to the full power of the franchise and drive integration across the bank’s eight lines of business. He succeeds Lori Chevy, who successfully led the market for 14 years and retired in December after 40 years with the company.

“Lori had a tremendous impact over the last 40 years with our company, delivering the full breadth of Bank of America to our Broward County clients and community and growing market share. We thank her for her leadership and look forward to continued growth and success with Jason becoming the next Fort Lauderdale president,” said Brian Moynihan, Bank of America chair and chief executive officer. “Jason is well positioned to help our Fort Lauderdale clients improve their financial lives and deliver responsible growth.”

Edelmann joined the company in 2007 and has held numerous leadership roles within Merrill. He is currently Merrill Florida Tropics market executive, where he leads a team of more than 300 advisors and associates across five South Florida offices. He will continue in his Merrill role while serving as Fort Lauderdale president. He worked alongside Chevy for several years, serving as a key member of the local leadership team.

Since 2020 Chevy oversaw more than $7.2 million in philanthropic support to local nonprofits. She served on the boards of numerous organizations to support the community and local economy.

Actively engaged in his local community, Edelmann serves on the advisory board of Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale.
