"Since joining Marathon Bank in 2018, Michelle has been an invaluable asset," said Nicholas W. Zillges, CEO of Marathon Bank and Marathon Bancorp, Inc. "Her expertise and experience across all areas of banking are truly irreplaceable. Her promotion to this senior leadership role will undoubtedly have a significant positive impact on the bank, benefiting both our customers and shareholders."
Prior to joining Marathon Bank, Michelle served as a Vice President at Intercity Bank, where she managed commercial banking business development, the mortgage department, and customer relationships.
