Notable Commercial Banking Leaders: John Hintze

Class of 2024

John Hintze has made an immediate impact as head of commercial banking at Madison-based Wisconsin Bank & Trust.

“We have had solid growth in our overall commercial banking business over the last three years, much in part due to John,” said Steve Clark, vice president, senior treasury management officer at Wisconsin Bank & Trust.

Hintze has helped lead the bank to top-tier performance, improving its ranking among 11 member HTLF banks from no. 8 in 2021 to no. 1 in 2023, said Clark, who credits Hintze with a client-centered approach, in which he invests time in understanding his clients’ needs and tailoring banking solutions for their growth.

“John is passionate about his nonprofit work and has experience in banking for nonprofit organizations, financing capital campaigns, managing liquidity and investments and presenting banking solutions to the board of directors,” Clark said. “His work recently on the board of My Choice Wisconsin helped to complete a successful sale and create a large foundation to continue to carry on their philanthropic mission.”
