Bill Bertha will retire from his role at U.S. Bank as Wisconsin market president in June. He will be succeeded by Tom Richtman.

Bertha has served as market president in Wisconsin since 2005. Under his leadership, U.S. Bank gained market share and significantly grew its presence in this important region. Prior to U.S. Bank, Bertha served as a managing director at both Deutsche Bank and Dean Witter Reynolds.

Richtman has been with U.S. Bank, dedicated to the Wisconsin market, for more than 33 years. In his current role, he serves as a relationship manager team lead in Commercial Banking. He has also held roles in Large Corporate Banking and Business Banking groups within U.S. Bank.

“We congratulate Bill on his exceptional career at U.S. Bank and for his business and community leadership in Wisconsin,” said Elliot Jaffee, head of Commercial Banking at U.S. Bank. “Bill has been a strong advocate of our core values, including putting people first. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy. I’m very pleased that Tom will take on the role of market president and continue to make possible happen for our clients and the greater community.”
