Middlesex Savings Bank, one of the largest mutual banks in Massachusetts, announced that Dana M. Neshe, has officially been elected CEO and chair of the board.
Ms. Neshe, a Hopkinton resident, has been with Middlesex Savings Bank for nearly 30 years, during which time she has served in a number of roles, including president and chief operating officer. In her leadership roles she has had oversight of many areas of the bank, including credit administration, commercial loan operations, compliance, information security, payment systems fraud, retail branches, deposit operations, marketing, and corporate and foundation philanthropy. Neshe has been deeply involved within the community serving as president of the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation and on numerous outside boards including Community Foundation for MetroWest, Framingham State University, the MetroWest Health Foundation, Jewish Family Service of MetroWest, the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce, and the Warrior Within Yoga Project.
Plans for Dana to take the role of CEO were first announced last year, when former CEO Mike McAuliffe announced his retirement and succession plan for the bank. In his remarks, McAuliffe stated that, “to be one of the oldest, largest, and strongest mutual banks in the country requires successfully navigating a multitude of challenges, which Middlesex has done over its 188 year history. It also requires long-term strategic and succession planning. I have had the absolute honor and pleasure to work with our executive team and all of our colleagues over the past seven years in continuing the bank’s mission of supporting our customers and communities. When I retire next year, I know the bank is well-positioned for continued long-term success under Dana’s strong leadership.”
