Rob Cozzone, Rockland Trust Co.’s chief operating officer, plans to leave the bank in the coming weeks “to pursue other opportunities,” the bank’s parent company said in a securities filing today. His resignation follows Rockland Trust’s leadership change last month.

Cozzone submitted his resignation on Feb. 28, the parent company, Independent Bank Corp., said in an SEC 8-K report. He will leave the bank in mid-March or sooner to assist with the transition of his current responsibilities, the filing said.

Cozzone’s resignation comes less than a month after the bank’s longtime CEO, Christopher Oddleifson, ended his 20-year tenure leading the bank. Oddleifson remains at Rockland Trust in an advisory role through the end of 2023.

Jeffrey Tengel, the former president at People’s United Bank before its acquisition by M&T Bank, took over as CEO on Feb. 6.

Cozzone joined Rockland Trust in 1998 as a banking officer and became treasurer in 2002, according to his biography on the bank’s website. He was named chief financial officer in 2013 before becoming the bank’s chief operating officer in 2019.
