Doug Talley has been promoted to president of The National Bank of Indianapolis. The move comes as Mark E. Bruin, bank president and CEO, announced his intentions to retire in early 2027. The position is being split with Talley taking over as president and an unidentified candidate taking over as CEO.
“Doug is an original employee of The National Bank of Indianapolis and has grown alongside this institution, helped shape it, and proven himself one of the finest bankers and leaders I have had the privilege of working with,” said Greg Maurer, chair of the bank’s board of directors. “His work as chief banking officer…has been exceptional in every respect. Doug was made for this role. His knowledge of our bank, our clients and our community is unmatched, and I could not be more confident in this promotion.”
Since joining the bank upon its founding in 1993, Talley has served in several key roles, including senior vice president, chief client officer; first vice president-corporate banking; and, most recently, executive vice president, chief banking officer and chief lending officer. Outside the bank, he serves on the boards of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the 500 Festival.
“Being named president of a bank I’ve helped build is the honor of my career. It allows me to focus on what I care about most—leading a team I’ve grown alongside and deepening the client relationships and community ties that have always set the bank apart,” Talley said. “I’m grateful to Mark for the foundation we’re building on, and I’m ready to lead us forward.”
The Board of Directors has engaged J. Scott Petty at executive search firm Chartwell Partners to lead the search for the bank’s next CEO.
