Craig Hokanson of Cumberland has been appointed president of Johnson Bank’s northwest Wisconsin region.
The bank is part of Johnson Financial Group, the $5.7 billion financial services parent company of the bank and Johnson Insurance Services. In the northwest, Johnson Bank has locations in Hayward, Spooner, Rice Lake, Menomonie and Eau Claire.
Hokanson succeeds Walter Jaeger, who retired after more than 30 years with the bank. Jaeger will serve on the bank’s Regional Advisory Board and will remain in Hayward. “Our clients are in good hands with Johnson Bank and with Craig,” said Jaeger.
Hokanson, a 20-year veteran of the banking industry, has been the regional commercial manager for the bank until now, responsible for leading the commercial sales team along with oversight of the commercial loan portfolio since 2006. He has also been an active member of the bank’s regional leadership team which focuses on strategic planning, human resource planning, and business development initiatives for the region.
“I’m excited about this new opportunity and will continue to build on what was started with a single office years ago,” said Hokanson.
