VP and commercial credit manager Mike Summerfield was recently interviewed in the national monthly magazine BankNews.

In the interview, Mike is asked what characteristic today’s bankers should possess. He replies:

The ability to adapt to change is critical not only for modern bankers, but modern businesses as well. It is very obvious how quickly the world has transitioned to a mobile fueled environment, and there is no doubt there will continue to be technological advancements that will make the current day and age feel archaic. Whether it be new products and services, or changes in how we operate due to cyber security concerns, the ability to adapt and embrace the changes will be essential going forward.

The interview was published in this month’s edition of BankNews. Mike was chosen as a subject after the managers of the Graduate School of Banking at UW-Madison referred him; he graduated from the school in 2014.
