FAIRFAX, Va., March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. (OTCQX: MNSB), the holding company for MainStreet Bank, announced the addition of Bruce Gemmill to its leadership team. Gemmill's extensive executive and marketing experience positions him well for his new role at MainStreet Bank as Senior Vice President / Chief Marketing Officer.

"Bruce adds significant depth to the team as we continue our efforts to reach into the communities we serve," said MainStreet Bank's President, Chris Brockett. "The fact that MainStreet continues to attract top talent like Bruce is a testament to the reputation our Bank enjoys."
