Fairfax-based MainStreet Bank announced Wednesday it has named Charles “Chris” Brockett president of the bank and its holding company, MainStreet Bancshares Inc. He also will hold a seat on the board of directors of both entities.

Brockett most recently was the executive vice president, director of operations at Bethesda, Md.-based EagleBank.  In that role, Brockett was responsible for EagleBank’s retail banking and residential lending operations, deposit and loan operations, information technology, marketing, and facilities.

Prior to that, he worked at Virginia Heritage Bank, which was acquired by Eagle Bancorp in 2014. Brockett was one of the founding seed investors of Virginia Heritage Bank where his roles included chief financial officer and chief operating officer.  At the time of its acquisition by Eagle Bancorp, Virginia Heritage Bank had grown to approximately $950 million in assets with five branches.

Brockett, a certified public accountant, began his banking career in 1980 with First Commercial Bank in Arlington.

MainStreet Bank has five branches in Herndon, Fairfax County, Fairfax City, McLean and Clarendon.
