“Beginning his banking career 30 years ago, Paul Northway – now president and CEO of American National Bank Fox Cities (ANBFC) – said he started at the local finance house’s singular branch in Appleton.
‘I recently celebrated 30 years in banking, and that started in 1995 at this bank,’ he said.
Northway said he left ANBFC in 1999 for the Green Bay market, where he spent 14 years with a few larger local community banks, holding several leadership positions – including senior vice president at Associated Bank and regional president of Baylake Bank.
In 2013, he said his ‘old boss’ at ANBFC reached out to discuss returning, as the bank’s leadership team was preparing to retire.
‘That was 12 years ago,’ he said, ‘Here we are continuing to grow, continuing to have a big impact in the market and with a big focus on our culture and developing an all-new leadership team throughout the years.’”
