Forcht Bank is thrilled to announce the addition of Manuel (Manny) Hernandez, Senior Vice President & Commercial Banking Officer to our Northern Kentucky market.

Manny joins Forcht with over a decade of banking experience with a strong foundation in commercial banking, working with small to medium-sized businesses particularly in manufacturing, distribution, construction, and professional services. He'll be responsible for developing and managing client relationships, delivering tailored lending and treasury solutions, and supporting the growth of businesses within the communities we serve in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati areas. He joins Market President Neal White in our Covington Loan Production Office.

Manny is incredibly passionate about helping businesses grow and contributing to the continued development of the Northern Kentucky region, which has become his home away from home since he moved from Mexico City in 2010 to attend college.

A graduate of Northern Kentucky University, he's an active member in the community. He's currently on the executive boards of directors at Aviatra Accelerators, a nonprofit that offers classes and coaching to help women entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses, and Learning Grove, a nonprofit that operates community-based early learning centers. Manny is also a co-founder of Emerging Leaders in NKY, where he serves on the board, and is involved in multiple committees with the Covington Business Council, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and Association of Corporate growth (ACG Greater Cincinnati Chapter).

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, and participating in triathlons.
