Q&A with Michael Del Rocco
What ignited your interest in becoming an Investor with the Tampa Bay EDC?
BankUnited’s interest was sparked by a common goal, healthy economic conditions in the Tampa Bay market, which includes a growing and diverse roster of corporations, a robust labor market, and a business community united to make conducting business in the area as enjoyable as possible.
Since BankUnited is headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, what attracted BankUnited to the Tampa market?
As a bank headquartered in Florida, all major markets in the state are important to BankUnited’s success. Tampa’s population of middle market and large corporate businesses is sizable and growing. BankUnited’s track record of meeting the financial needs of corporations makes Tampa an ideal market for success.
What does the financial industry in Tampa look like to you five, even ten, years from now?
Larger, more diverse, and even more exciting than it is today.
With nearly four decades in banking, what has been a lasting practice of success you have seen over time?
In my experience, the most enduring key to success in banking has always been the strength of client relationships. Trust is built over time, and it begins with a deep understanding of each client’s business and knowing how they operate, what challenges they face and what goals they are working toward. When you truly know your clients and align your efforts with their long-term objectives, you become a trusted advisor and a partner in their growth.
