Bangor Savings Bank

Bangor Savings Bank, which operates eight branches in New Hampshire, announced Lannie Moffatt will be its new president and CEO starting Sept. 1.

Moffatt has been with the bank for 20 years and is currently executive vice president and chief operating officer. She succeeds Bob Montgomery-Rice, who’s led the bank since 2015.

“Bob’s leadership has helped shape Bangor Savings Bank into the strong organization it is today,” board chair Vincent Veroneau said in a statement. “On behalf of the Board, we are grateful for his contributions. The Board’s selection of Lannie reflects our absolute confidence in her leadership and the depth of our internal team. This transition guarantees uninterrupted commitment for our employee culture, our customers, and our strategic growth in the years ahead.”

Ledyard Bank

Hanover-based Ledyard Bank announced that it’s hired Daniel J. Bailey as its new chief information officer.

Bailey was most recently senior vice president and chief information officer at Salem Co-operative Bank, where he was responsible for technology strategy, cybersecurity, vendor management, and core systems oversight.

“Dan brings a strong combination of technical expertise, leadership experience, and a practical approach to innovation that will be a tremendous asset to Ledyard,” Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer Sue Fernald said in a statement. “Technology continues to play an increasingly important role in how we serve our clients and communities. Dan’s leadership will help us strengthen our technology infrastructure, enhance cybersecurity, and ensure we continue to deliver secure, reliable, and forward-looking banking services.”

The Merrimack

Merrimack County Savings Bank said it’s hired Irene Sklaratos to be the branch manager and head of business development for its Nashua branch.

Sklaratos was a universal banker at the branch earlier in her career, but left the bank in 2022, The Merrimack said.

“What drew me back to The Merrimack was the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day, helping individuals and businesses achieve their goals,” Skarlatos said in a statement. “This role aligns with my purpose of serving others and creating a positive impact, which made the decision both personal and rewarding.”
