Wauwatosa-based WaterStone Bank has hired two new community presidents, to lead its new Greenfield and Fox Point branches.
The company announced in December it will open a newly constructed 3,500-square-foot full-service branch at 5000 W. Loomis Road in Greenfield, and in July, it announced plans to open a new branch in an existing building at 8607 N. Port Washington Road in Fox Point.
Elizabeth Baumann will head the Greenfield branch, which will open this month. Baumann joined WaterStone in August. She previously worked as assistant vice president-bank office manager at Bank Mutual. Baumann holds Wisconsin licenses for life and health insurance, is NMLS and SAFE Act registered, and is Signature Guarantee and Notary Public Bonded. She graduated from Marquette University in 2012 with a master of art in medieval history and earned a master of library and information science degree from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2014.
“I am excited to get out into the community and forge new customer and business relationships,” Baumann said. “I am also thrilled to develop an amazing team at our Greenfield branch. I know we will do great things.”
Jim Vick will head the Fox Point branch, which will open in October. Vick has worked in banking for 15 years, most recently as branch manager at BMO Harris Bank. He holds a bachelor’s of business administration from UW-Milwaukee.
“I’m looking forward to getting into our Fox Point location and growing our footprint in that region,” Vick stated. “I’m excited to help educate our customers and new employees about what WaterStone has to offer!”
“Elizabeth and Jim are great additions to the WaterStone Bank team,” said Judy Gebhard, vice president of retail delivery with WaterStone Bank. “Their vast knowledge and experience in the banking industry will be integral as we build our presence in the Greenfield and Fox Point markets.”
