Martin Morgado

Martin Morgado is President and CEO of Savings Bank of Danbury, where he has worked for nearly two decades and has led the organization since 2016. With more than three decades in banking and a finance degree from St. Michael's College, he has built his leadership around community service and close employee engagement.

During the disruption of 2020, Morgado championed participation in the federal Paycheck Protection Program, helping hundreds of local businesses and nonprofits keep their employees on payroll, while also directing hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable giving toward vulnerable members of the community and supporting local initiatives such as a community memorial mural project.

He has framed adversity as an opportunity for institutional growth, maintaining open communication with staff, customers, and stakeholders throughout the pandemic and crediting the bank's ability to adapt to the belief that a team can accomplish more by working together.
