A press release stated, “Active in civic life, Quenneville has been an integral part of the Western New York Community, serving on the boards of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, D’Youville College, Heritage Centers. Say Yes to Education, and the Buffalo Racial Equity Leadership Task Force.

“We are grateful for Gary’s nearly 40-year tenure at Key as well as his unwavering commitment to our clients, our colleagues, and the communities we serve,” KeyCorp Chairman and CEO Christopher Gorman said.

Key Commercial Bank President Angela Mago said, “While we will miss Gary’s leadership and dedication to our clients, communities, values and culture, we congratulate him and his family on his well-deserved retirement, and wish them the best as they move on to this next chapter of their lives.”

Following Quenneville’s retirement, Michael McMahon will continue in his leadership role as Buffalo market president and commercial sales leader.
