Kristina Watts Celebrates 20 Years at Crews Bank & Trust

Englewood, Fla., February 8. 2024 – Kristina Watts, Business Relationship Banker, VP, is celebrating her 20-year anniversary with Crews Bank & Trust. Watts joined the bank in 2005, bringing 17 years of general merchandising, service management and training experience from her home state of Vermont. She earned an American Institute of General Banking degree in 2010.

"Kristina has made so many connections in this area over the past 20 years," said Market President Joseph "Joe" Cataldo, "She has earned a reputation as being knowledgeable and dependable; the people and businesses of the greater Englewood area know that if she's managing their banking needs, they are in great hands."

Watts assists the bank’s business customers with a variety of financial solutions, ranging from small business loans, commercial real estate loans, to merchant services and convenience banking. Her availability and willingness to help business owners and nonprofits earned her the sobriquet “Watts on Demand.”

She has been a longtime member of the Englewood Florida Chamber of Commerce and has served on their board of directors. Watts is a 2009 graduate of Leadership Englewood and has served 6 years on the Chamber board as Vice President of Leadership. She currently serves as Community Service Chair for the Rotary Club of Englewood, which awarded her the Leo “Pete” Cypher Service Above Self Award and President’s Award and named her a Paul Harris Fellow +1 for her contributions to the Rotary Foundation.

Watts serves on the board of directors of Boca Cares, a philanthropic organization comprised of residents, friends, and business partners of the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club. Since its formation in late 2018, Boca Cares has awarded over $275,000 in grants to more than 25 local charities in the Englewood and Venice area.

“I am devoted to this community,” Watts said. “Working with these organizations is my way of contributing back. I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive community.”
