Bridgewater Savings Bank recently announced a series of promotions made official at its 145th annual meeting, including that of its new president and CEO Peter Dello Russo.
James Lively first arrived at the doorstep of Bridgewater Savings Bank 33 years ago to interview for a position as treasurer. At the time, he probably didn’t anticipate he would end up leading the bank through a considerable growth trajectory, doubling its branch footprint and increasing its asset size fivefold to $500 million. But Lively, who recently announced his impending retirement, said he’ll most miss talking to his customers. He told Banker & Tradesman, “There’s a tremendous sense of satisfaction in knowing a customer, having worked with a customer and seeing that customer be successful.”
