Green Bay-based Associated Banc-Corp has named John Utz its Milwaukee market president.
Utz, who previously served as executive vice president and head of Corporate Banking North, has been the most senior business leader in the Milwaukee area for several years, the company said. This “new position acknowledges that role,” Associated Banc-Corp said in a statement. In his new role, Utz will be responsible for all Corporate Banking.
“In the case of our critical Corporate Banking business, John’s experience leading our northern region together with his significant success in growing our specialty lending business make him ideally positioned to take on this expanded role,” Flynn said. “John’s additional new assignment as Milwaukee market president formalizes his existing leadership in our efforts to grow our full portfolio of financial products and services in the Greater Milwaukee market and acknowledges his important community involvement there.”
Associated Banc-Corp has $27 billion in assets and has more than 200 Associated Bank branches in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
