When Lincoln Savings Bank and its Chairwoman, Sally Hollis, began their CEO search in the summer of 2023, they embarked on a journey to find someone who could blend the past, present, and future of the organization. With assistance from Travillian, Sean Willett was tapped to be the bank’s new CEO. In this candid conversation with Brian Love, Head of Banking & Fintech at Travillian, Sean and Sally reflect on:
- How to preserve culture when adding a new Chief Executive Officer
- The bank’s Board dynamics, best practices on succession planning and executive search
- How an “outsider” can be beneficial to a company’s transformation
- How to properly integrate and socialize a new executive onto a pre-existing team
- Thoughts on Lincoln’s continuing Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) efforts
