As President and CEO, Fiorentino will also be responsible for overseeing the overall direction and operations of AmeriFactors. She will work closely with the management team to develop and execute strategies that will drive growth and innovation across the company's diverse portfolio of clients. In her continued role as General Counsel, she will provide legal guidance and support to AmeriFactors, and other companies owned by Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Co. while leading a newly expanded legal team.
