John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. Announces the Passing of Director Ronald J. Gordon

John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JMSB) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank”), announced that founding director Ronald J. Gordon, a director of the Bank since 2006 passed away on February 21, 2023. Mr. Gordon served as a member of the Company's Audit Committee.

An accomplished businessman, Mr. Gordon was previously the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZGS Communications (“ZGS”), a Hispanic-owned Spanish-language media company with interests in television, radio, and the internet. Founded in 1983 by Mr. Gordon, ZGS owned and operated Spanish-language television stations, representing the largest group of independent stations affiliated with the Telemundo television network until the sale of ZGS’s broadcast assets to Comcast/NBC Universal in 2017. He also served on the Board of Trustees of WETA, the flagship PBS television station in the nation’s capital.

Mr. Gordon’s success allowed him to live out a lifelong dream of owning and managing a football club. In 2019, he became the majority owner and executive chairman of Hibernian F.C., a professional soccer team in the Scottish Premiership, the top tier of the Scottish Professional Football League.

His business acumen and strategic vision contributed significantly to the Company’s success. During his tenure as director, the Company grew from a business plan to a bank with $2.35 billion in assets that recently celebrated its 4th consecutive year of record earnings and listing on the Nasdaq.

“Ron was an outstanding businessperson who brought an inclusive style to the boardroom. He respected the views of others while building consensus to arrive at smart and appropriate decisions,” said Christopher Bergstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer of John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. “His good-natured sense of humor, along with his caring and thoughtful personality positively impacted the culture of the company. We are forever grateful to Ron for his commitment and 17 years of service. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ron’s family as we mourn the loss of our friend and a great man.”
