Randy Greene’s marriage with Blue Ridge Bank didn’t last long.
The CEO of Richmond-based Virginia Commonwealth Bank, which was merged into Blue Ridge on Jan. 31, turned in his resignation letter Feb. 9, barely a week after the deal was consummated.
As part of the merger Greene was tapped to serve as president and COO of Blue Ridge parent company Blue Ridge Bankshares, as well as president and CEO of the bank itself. He’ll step down from those roles as well give up his seat on the board.
