Denver, CO, March 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Joanne Sherwood, President and CEO of Citywide Banks, a subsidiary of Heartland Financial USA, Inc., announced that she will retire, effective May 3, 2021. The bank\u2019s Board of Directors has approved Michael Wamsganz, the current Director of Commercial Banking, to become the new President and CEO of Citywide Banks, effective May 3, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoanne\u2019s leadership over the past 21 years at Citywide Banks has made a tremendous impact to our clients, our employees, and our Denver community,\u201d commented Kevin Quinn, Regional President of Heartland Financial\u2019s West Region. \u201cHer partnership and dedication will be missed, but we wish her the well in retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joanne has worked in banking for more than three decades. She joined Citywide Banks in 2000, and has held multiple leadership positions across the bank. Her contributions have helped grow the bank from less than $500 million in assets to more than $2.5 billion today. She continually served as a mentor to up-and-coming bankers and developed a program to assist and support women in banking. In 2019, Joanne became the first woman to be named President & CEO of Citywide Banks.<\/p>\n

Joanne was also the first woman in two decades to be elected Chair of the Colorado Bankers Association. During her leadership, she testified before Congress and led advocacy initiatives for all Colorado banks. She has also been actively engaged with the Denver Hospice, Arrupe Jesuit High School, Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, Colorado Chamber of Commerce, and the Home Builders Association.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael Wamsganz joined Citywide Banks as Director of Commercial Banking in April 2020. He brings an extensive background in both the Commercial and Retail banking segments to his new leadership role. Prior to Citywide, as Business Banking Division Head at Huntington National Bank, Michael led a team that developed and managed a portfolio of $19 billion. During his time with Bank of the West, Michael managed teams across 370 branches as Executive Vice President of the Rocky Mountain Division.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael has been an integral part of our Commercial banking team\u2019s growth and evolution. He is well positioned to continue Citywide Banks mission of serving the needs of businesses and individuals across Colorado,\u201d added Quinn.<\/p>\n

Citywide Banks through its parent company, Heartland Financial USA, Inc., has been named a \u201cForbes Best Bank 2021.\u201d In its annual review of the largest publicly traded banks and thrifts, Forbes<\/em> ranked Heartland 52nd<\/sup> among a nationwide group of 100 leading banking organizations with assets ranging from $9 billion to over $2 trillion. To compile the rankings<\/u><\/a>, Forbes<\/em> used data collected by SNL Financial through the third quarter of 2020 on the country\u2019s largest publicly traded banks and thrifts. The data covered 10 metrics of financial health: return on average equity; net interest margin; nonperforming loans (NPLs) as a percentage of loans; nonperforming assets as percentage of assets; reserves as a percentage of NPLs; two capital ratios (Tier 1 and risk-based); and leverage ratio. Forbes<\/em> generated its ranking based on an average of the individual ranks of each metric.<\/p>\n
