For two decades , Smith & Wilkinson has set the bar for excellence in executive search for community banks nationwide to identify, assess, and place proven executive and senior leaders. Our clients have come to depend on our market expertise, our commitment to excellence, professionalism, candor, integrity, and of course results. Our tenured team of search professionals has experience representing clients across the spectrum of organizational missions, from those clients who view their roles as stewards of their customers’ money across generations to companies looking to get products to market with speed. Successfully completed engagements have included searches for Board Members, some of the most highly visible CEO searches in our space, and across functional areas of lending, credit, operations, technology, finance and accounting, risk management, human resources, wealth management, and marketing.
Your Trusted Partner for Talent Acquisition
With over two decades of experience in organizational consulting, our team is ready to help you find and hire the best talent available. Through our extensive network, we offer broad-ranging capabilities to the financial services sector, including community banks, credit unions, financial technology, and community and economic development. Our team lives and breathes financial services, and we share in your excitement for where our industry is headed.
Our search assignments encompass nearly all seniority levels and functional areas of the financial services ecosystem, offering our clients and candidates maximum visibility into the talent market.
Key Challenges We Help You Solve
Community and regional institutions face unique pressures: regulatory scrutiny, talent flight to larger banks, digital transformation, and succession planning. Our Financial Services team understands the dynamics shaping your institution, and can help you maximize your talent.
Executive Assessment & Succession Planning
Many banks are experiencing generational transitions in their leadership teams, yet fewer than 50% of banks have a formal succession plan for the CEO or other key roles. We partner with Boards and CEOs to assess internal talent for development and selection, helping identify future-focused, values-driven leaders who can carry the organization forward with purpose and continuity.

Executive Search
We understand that leadership in today’s banking environment requires a deep commitment to member relationships, local impact, and long-term growth. That’s why our team leverages deep industry expertise and an extensive network within the financial services sector to deliver diverse candidate pools, timely insights, and trusted strategic guidance throughout every search to ensure we find you the right leader who reflects your bank’s values, vision, and community focus.

Executive Coaching
At S&W, we understand the unique challenges bank executives face in balancing growth, regulatory expectations, and exceptional customer service. Our one-on-one executive coaching provides CEOs and senior leaders with confidential, strategic support to help them navigate complexity, strengthen leadership effectiveness, and achieve organizational goals. Guided by experienced coaches who understand the community banking landscape, our process empowers executives to enhance performance, foster team alignment, and drive lasting customer and community value.

Group Leadership Development
Investing in leadership development for high-potential managers strengthens your bank’s culture and builds the pipeline of future leaders. Our small-group programs deliver leadership training with the depth, quality, and personalization that many small and mid-sized banks can’t easily provide internally. Designed to foster growth, collaboration, and confidence, these sessions help participants refine their leadership skills, strengthen team dynamics, and prepare to take on greater responsibility, resulting in a more engaged, empowered workforce ready to drive performance, enhance customer relationships, and support your bank’s long-term success.

Employee Engagement Surveys
High levels of employee engagement directly correlate with exceptional business performance and customer satisfaction; however, you can’t manage what you can’t measure. Using the market-leading Qualtrics survey platform, Smith & Wilkinson delivers actionable insights into organizational culture and leadership climate, enabling strategic leadership development and culture-shaping initiatives that strengthen engagement across the bank.

Team Building Workshops & Offsite Leadership Retreats
Strategic leadership working retreats give bank leaders the opportunity to step away from daily demands and reconnect with their shared mission, values, and long-term goals. Designed to fit your organization and facilitated by Smith & Wilkinson, these customized workshops create space for clarity, collaboration, and candid dialogue, helping leadership teams strengthen alignment around cultural and strategic priorities. By focusing on purpose, relationships, and results, our retreats foster deeper connection and trust while equipping leaders with the insight and cohesion needed to guide their banks forward with confidence, unity, and a renewed commitment to the customers and communities they serve.

Following its 2023 merger with First Connecticut Credit Union, Finex has expanded its membership and statewide presence and is focused on building the leadership team and operational infrastructure needed to support its next stage of growth.
Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the Vice President will lead Finex's loan servicing and collections functions, with responsibility for its consumer loan portfolio. The VP will oversee consumer loan servicing, delinquency management, recoveries, post-closing quality control, vendor oversight, regulatory compliance, and the development of effective policies and procedures.

This is a hands-on leadership role with significant visibility across the organization. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to assess current practices, strengthen processes and controls, develop the team, and serve as Finex's internal authority on loan servicing and collections.

The position may be based in either East Hartford or Wallingford, Connecticut, with a hybrid schedule.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious banking or credit union professional to step into a highly visible leadership position, build and improve critical functions, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of Finex Credit Union.
