EFFINGHAM, Ill. – July 15, 2026 – Midland States Bank announced today the creation of a new role designed to 

strengthen its commitment to small business customers: the Small Business Market Manager. The Bank has 

appointed Meghan Hermann to serve in this role in the Northern and Eastern Markets, reinforcing its focus on 

delivering tailored financial solutions and deepening relationships within the small business community.

The Small Business Market Manager role is dedicated to supporting small business owners, complementing both 

branch-based service and business banking capabilities. While branch teams and commercial bankers continue to 

serve an important role, this position enhances coverage for small businesses with evolving needs by providing 

proactive outreach, relationship management, and access to a broader range of financial solutions.

“Small businesses are at the heart of every community we serve,” said Min Yun, Vice President of Retail Banking at 

Midland States Bank. “The Small Business Market Manager role reflects our continued investment in delivering 

strong local expertise and relationship-based support. By dedicating resources specifically to this segment, we are 

enhancing our ability to better understand business owners’ needs and connect them to the right financial solutions 

as they grow.”

In this role, Hermann will lead efforts to support small business growth in the market by developing new business 

relationships, deepening existing client engagement, and building a strong presence within the local community

throughout Midland’s Northern Region. The position is also responsible for delivering a range of banking solutions, 

including business deposit accounts, lines of credit, credit cards, owner-occupied commercial real estate lending, and treasury management services.

Hermann brings nearly 20 years of leadership experience to this role, including her most recent position as Business 

Market Manager at Midland’s Highcrest Location. 

“I look forward to continuing to support small business owners throughout the Northern region and expanding my 

support to the Eastern region,” said Hermann. “At the heart of this role is building meaningful relationships and 

helping small businesses succeed.”

The introduction of the Small Business Market Manager role is part of Midland States Bank’s broader strategy to 

provide relationship-driven banking and personalized support to small business customers.
