Javier Holtz has been named chairman and CEO of North Miami Beach-based Marquis Bank, which he previously hoped to acquire.
An Indian Creek Village councilman and veteran banker, Holtz filed an application with federal and state regulators in October to acquire a controlling interest in Marquis Bank, a $64 million-asset institution that was founded in 2007. The application said he would invest $6.1 million in capital into the bank. However, he later withdrew the application, according to state regulators.

Holtz worked for 15 years at Miami-based Capital Bank, which was founded by his father. After Union Planters Bank acquired it in 1998, Holtz continued to work there for seven years. Most recently, he has led a private equity firm.

Favorite Movie? Caddyshack – The most accurate movie ever made!

With over 25 years of marketing, business development and management experience I have built companies, and developed relationships with many executives throughout the NY/NJ metro area. I enjoy helping others and would very much like to meet people who are like minded. Marketing is all about differentiating your business from the competition. As an experienced and connected marketing executive my differentiation value is my passion and out of the box thinking that gives my employer/clients the resources to stand out from their competition and build marketshare.
