SYRACUSE — M&T Bank announced it has appointed Meg Tidd, chief marketing officer at VIP Structures, and Andy Breuer, president of Hueber-Breuer Construction, to its Directors Advisory Council for the Central New York region.
The 10-member council meets regularly throughout the year to provide M&T management with “valuable insight on a wide range of business, client and community matters,” the bank said in a news release.
Tidd and Breuer are “rising leaders of family-owned companies that are deeply committed to Syracuse, where both firms are based,” M&T Bank contends.
“In Central New York, the responsibilities of our most influential business leaders extend far beyond increasing revenues or attracting customers for their companies. They also become stewards of our community’s growth and advocates for our region’s needs,” Allen Naples, M&T Bank regional president for Central New York, said. “Meg and Andy understand these civic responsibilities. As next-generation leaders of family-owned businesses, they will bring new perspectives to M&T’s advisory council, providing increased emphasis on the importance of engaging young business leaders in the ongoing efforts to revitalize the region.”
Tidd became chief marketing officer at VIP in 2013 after joining the firm two years earlier. In 2015, she led VIP through a rebranding and corporate-strategy initiative that has contributed to increased market share for the company, per the release. As a member of VIP’s senior leadership team, she has pushed for continual improvement at the company, enhanced the firm’s sales and marketing processes, and fostered a collaborative workplace culture. Tidd is a 2014 graduate of the Leadership Greater Syracuse (LGS) program and a 2016 BJNN 40 Under Forty honoree. She also serves as a member of the Gifford Foundation board of trustees and an Early Childhood Alliance Business Council member.
Breuer represents the sixth generation of Central New York’s oldest, continuously operating construction company, the M&T release stated. Since 2002, he has led many projects for Hueber-Breuer Construction as a project manager and project executive, including the Onondaga Nation Tsha’ Thoñ’nhes Lacrosse Pavilion, Destiny Embassy Suites Hotel, and the New York State Fairgrounds’ Exposition Center. A graduate of the LGS program, Breuer is chair of the Central New York Community Foundation, a member of the Landmark Theater board of trustees, and a member of the SUNY ESF Foundation board of directors.
In addition to Tidd and Breuer, M&T Bank’s Directors Advisory Council for the Central New York region has the following members: Carl Byrne, Byrne Dairy; Mara Charlamb, United Radio; James (Jim) Fox, O’Brien & Gere; Karyn Korteling, Pastabilities; Robert (Luke) Lewis, Lewis Custom Homes; Robert H. Linn; formerly with Ernst & Young; Joseph Mancuso, Hancock & Estabrook; and Melissa Zell, The Pioneer Companies.
M&T Bank’s Central New York regional headquarters is located on South Salina Street and is responsible for managing operations in 45 offices, with nearly 500 employees across eight counties, including: Cayuga, Herkimer, Jefferson, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, and Seneca County.
