Marty

ERMA Strategies, LLC

Marty’s journey through the financial services industry since the 1980’s positions ERMA Strategies, LLC to be a unique provider of strategic analytics and enterprise risk management for community banks across the United States. Marty started his career as an executive manager at First Horizon National Corporation where over his 20-year career he had served as Chief Financial Officer, Head of Investor Relations and Strategic Planning, ALCO Chairperson and Chief Economist. As CFO, Marty guided First Horizon through four years of Sarbanes-Oxley and directed the Treasury, Tax, Controller, M&A, Strategic Planning, and Investor Relations Departments. Marty’s experience at First Horizon has helped him gain a strong understanding of the banking industry which he has used to develop differentiated bank profitability analysis, risk measurement approaches, liquidity building tools, capital planning policies, and correlations of profitability to market valuations. Marty also led the Financial Institutions Group for Guggenheim Securities for seven years where he published research on the 25 largest banks in the U.S. This experience allowed Marty to generate the management analytics that he built at First Horizon from the outside of a bank looking in. As a result of this combination of experience and this differentiated analysis Marty’s teams have received numerous awards over his career: ranked first by Integrity Research and Investors’ performance, won Bank Analyst Annual Best Investor Relations at a Mid-Cap Bank award twice, and recognized by Investor Relations Magazine for one of the best Roadshows of any mid-sized company. Marty graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1988 with the degree of Masters of Arts in Economics and from the University of Memphis with the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Economics in 1986.
