(Please forgive me for talking about myself in the third person.)The estranged father of Ricky Bobby from the movie Talladega Nights said, “If you aren’t first, you’re last.” But that doesn’t apply to Fleming who is proud to serve as VP of Marketing for Bank Iowa, the 2nd largest family-owned bank and the 2nd largest agriculture bank in Iowa. “Shake and bank!” Fleming believes in surrounding himself with people more talented than himself because he knows his boundless number of big ideas (only 17% of them are any good) can't be brought to life without them. Leading with this philosophy over the last seven years, Fleming has built an award-winning marketing team (46 marketing awards!) while helping to grow Bank Iowa’s asset size by more than 81% to $2B. Before joining Bank Iowa in 2017, Josh spent the better part of twenty years working for advertising agencies and startup companies leading branding, digital, and social media strategies. He also served as an adjunct professor at Drake University teaching digital marketing.Fleming was awarded the 2020 American Marketing Association Marketing Executive of the Year and is a member of the Des Moines Business Record’s 40 Under 40 class of 2013. And while all of this sounds somewhat boastful, most people would agree that for a middle-aged ginger, he’s actually a pretty humble guy.When Fleming isn’t driving one of his five children to soccer, track, cross country, baseball, basketball, dance, swim meets, or college, the South Floridian transplant serves as a board member for the Waukee Betterment Foundation and an Advisory Board Member for the Salvation Army of Des Moines. Fleming and his saint of a wife, Daina, (someone’s in the kitchen with) and their five children reside in Waukee and have happily called Iowa home for the last 25 years.P.S. Here's a joke...Boss: How good are you at PowerPoint?Me: I Excel at it Boss: Was that a Microsoft Office pun?Me: Word
