Brookfield, Wis. – North Shore Bank today announced a series of leadership transitions across northeast Wisconsin, reflecting the organization’s long-standing commitment to developing talent from within and investing in the future of community banking.
These changes come as two highly respected leaders — Vice President and District Manager Kerri Collins and Area Manager Mickey Adams — prepare to retire this spring. Collins and Adams represent nearly 80 years of combined service to North Shore Bank, helping shape the customer-focused culture and strong community relationships that define the community bank today.
“We are incredibly grateful for Kerri and Mickey’s decades of leadership, expertise and tenured dedication in northeast Wisconsin,” said Susan T. Doyle, senior vice president of retail banking at North Shore Bank. “They leave behind a legacy of customer care and community service, and we wish them continued success as they embark on their next chapter. We’re grateful as they have helped mentor and prepare the next generation of leaders who will carry that legacy forward.”
As part of this transition, North Shore Bank is promoting experienced team members into key leadership roles across the area — ensuring continuity for customers and maintaining high-quality, personalized service across the region.
Katie Presser, with 14 years at North Shore Bank, has been promoted to North District Manager. She has held positions at the bank overseeing multiple offices, most recently as Area Manager for Pulaski and Howard branches and Community Engagement Manager. Through its Community Engagement Manager program, North Shore Bank invests in current leaders through a rigorous, yearlong training initiative and ongoing development focused on strengthening community connections and local partnerships.
“Katie is ready to take on this next leadership role,” said Doyle. “Her passion, positivity, and expertise will directly benefit our customers and continue to strengthen the vibrant communities we serve across northeast Wisconsin. Having served as our Community Engagement Manager, Katie has a strong understanding of our engagement-driven approach to supporting our customers and community. We are confident she will make a meaningful and lasting impact in her new role.”
Additionally, the following promotions have been made:
- Caitlin Maloney, who has been Assistant Manager for the past three years at the Pulaski branch, will now take the lead.
- Emmeline Knight-Guzman, a 12-year North Shore Bank veteran, will head the Howard-Suamico team.
- Aubrey Abrahamson will lead the Allouez branch with six years of North Shore Bank experience.
- Mariah Hintz, who has served the Green Bay Community for three years, will lead the Green Bay East team.
All four of the women are members of North Shore Bank’s Emerging Leaders Group, a development program for high-performing professionals that supports leadership growth and meaningful participation in bankwide initiatives.
“These promotions reflect the depth of talent within our organization and our intentional focus on developing leaders from within,” added Doyle. “Our Northeast region is widespread, spanning from the Appleton and Green Bay areas to Door County, and we are proud to have served these communities with trusted financial services for nearly 40 years. These new leaders are deeply connected to the communities we serve, and they are well positioned for continued success.”
