"Pat's dedication and drive in commercial banking over the past 12 years has helped lead Peoples forward in our strategic plan," Bill Fish, chairman of the board of directors, said in a press release. "His appointment as vice president of PSB Holdings also serves as recognition of the importance of our commercial business and customers to our success."
Heier, who joined Peoples in 2007, has been instrumental in growing the bank's commercial loan and deposit portfolios while maintaining high credit quality. He's leveraged his 30 years of banking experience at both large national and community banks to increase Peoples' net income and asset growth. And he's been instrumental in PSB's growth strategy, leading the startup of Peoples Milwaukee loan production office in 2016, which has been a significant factor behind bank wide loan growth since opening.
"I appreciate the board of directors confidence in me to take on this additional holding company role," said Heier. "We have a tremendous franchise with great people which provides a solid foundation for future growth."
"Pat has been instrumental in our growth strategy to date and will help us capitalize on new markets as we move forward," said Peoples President and CEO Scott Cattanach. "Pat's banking experience will help us review opportunities with a critical eye focused on the bank's success."
Heier serves as a board member of The Women's Community, Inc., and the Wisconsin Woodchucks. He is a big brother for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Wisconsin, and has volunteered for several other Wausau area organizations and non-profits.
PSB Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Peoples State Bank. Peoples is a community bank headquartered in Wausau, serving north central Wisconsin from nine full service banking locations in Marathon, Oneida and Vilas counties, as well as commercial loan production offices in Milwaukee and Stevens Point.
