Lou Banach accepted the position of group senior vice president of commercial lending, southeastern Wisconsin with Green Bay-based Associated Bank in March, largely because of the bank’s new leadership team and their commitment to growing the bank’s commercial banking presence in Milwaukee, Chicago and Minnesota.
Banach previously worked as managing director of the mergers and acquisitions practice at Schenck Business Solutions. Before his time at Scheck, Banach was regional president and director of consumer and commercial lending with Brookfield-based Ridgestone Bank.
