Century Savings Bank has announced the hiring of David J. Hanrahan as president and Joseph F. Rehm as senior vice president of commercial lending. The position of president and chief executive officer, currently held by David J. Hemple, has been separated into two positions. Hemple will continue in his role as CEO, while Hanrahan will serve as president. These additions to the leadership team align with the strategic plan for the ongoing success and expansion of the commercial lending division of the bank.
“This new structure will put tremendous experience and expertise at the helm of our bank,” said Carl Kirstein, board chairman. “Both Dave Hemple and Dave Hanrahan are very successful CEOs, and their individual capabilities, skills and personalities are highly complementary of one another. Working together, they will be a powerful and successful team in unlocking the full potential of this unique franchise and establishing Century Savings Bank as the premier community bank in South Jersey.”
As president, Hanrahan will be responsible for directly overseeing the lending division of the bank as well as the development of new and expansion of existing loan products and services and exploration into new markets. As senior vice president of commercial lending, Rehm will focus on expanding Century’s commercial client base by offering flexible solutions tailored to meet the needs of area businesses.
“Dave and Joe are outstanding leaders who will contribute greatly to Century’s future success. These additions to the Century Savings Bank leadership team illustrate the importance we place on identifying and securing the greatest talent available to best serve our customers and communities,” said Hemple.
