Leading the oldest and largest privately-held commercial bank in the Northwest puts me in the privileged role of steward: for the communities we serve, the people we employ and the customers we help.There's a lot of great work being done at Washington Trust Bank and milestones to celebrate, like reaching $11 billion in assets. I'm most proud that the same values that guided my family over four generations of leadership are the same ones enabling us to grow responsibly into the future.Our culture sets us apart, and customers see it every day. They know that the person they're talking to about a loan is empowered to make decisions. Our advisors are building relationships with them, not just taking orders from above.Here's what makes us different:• Our ownership: We're not driven by the next earnings report. Everyone here knows their job is to take care of the customer and do what's right—growth will take care of itself.• Our experience: From the bank’s start in 1902, we've been offering commercial loans. That translates to billions of dollars supporting businesses and helping drive the economic engine in our markets.• Our people: The Northwest is a hub of innovation. Bringing on great people who excel at what they do is an easy decision. They know how to best help their customers—it's my role to make sure we're all headed in the same direction.We're a relationship bank. One of my favorite things to do as CEO is spend time in the branches working with our employees or meeting potential customers. Away from my bank responsibilities, I like to build civic relationships in the community, volunteering with groups that are helping educate and provide for the next generation.Specialties include: strategic vision | leadership development | commercial banking
