Bay Bank, the bank built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, announced today that Barry Zuckerman has joined the company as a mortgage division sales manager under the leadership of Senior Vice President and Chief Mortgage Operating Officer Christianna Massar.

A 30-year veteran of the banking industry, Zuckerman previously held management positions at Movement Mortgage, Millennium Financial, Real Estate Mortgage Network, Prospect Mortgage, Freedom Mortgage, American Home Mortgage and Countrywide Home Loans. He also worked as a licensed settlement officer at Lakeside Title Company and Continental Title Group. He has received numerous awards and recognition in sales and customer service at both the national and regional level.

Zuckerman will work among Bay Bank's robust mortgage staff, bringing his expertise in recruiting, inspiring and mentoring to the bank's Timonium office.

"Barry has all of the skills and leadership qualities of an effective sales manager," said Massar. "We are excited to have someone with his wealth of experience within the mortgage industry on our team. His consultative approach, ability to build strategic partnerships and extensive knowledge of systems and products will be valuable assets to our mortgage staff."

Zuckerman's hire is another sign of growth from Bay Bank, as it comes just after an announcement that the bank's acquisition of Hopkins Federal Savings Bank has been approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

In addition to his leadership role at Bay Bank, Zuckerman will continue actively serving the Greater Baltimore community. Zuckerman currently volunteers for WTMD Radio 89.7 and Reverb, a group that encourages environmental sustainability within the music industry. He also served as president of the Velvet Valley/Velvet Ridge Neighborhood Association. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland.
