Anker Christensen, executive vice president and CFO of River City Bank, will step down on July 3. Brian Killeen, the bank’s current senior vice president and controller, was appointed interim CFO.
Killeen has been River City Bank’s controller for the past 16 years. Prior to joining the bank, Killeen spent the first seven years of his career working for KPMG.
River City Bank will engage a search firm as part of the process for selecting the bank’s permanent CFO. Killeen will be a candidate for the position.
“It has been a tremendous privilege to work with my exceptional colleagues at River City Bank over the past 19 years.” Christensen said. “The work has been highly rewarding and I am personally very gratified to have played a key role in transforming the bank to such a large extent. While I will miss my colleagues at the bank, I am also looking forward to starting a new chapter in my career.”
“Anker has been an instrumental part of our transformation at River City Bank from a small retail-oriented bank to a high-performing boutique commercial bank,” Steve Fleming, president and CEO River City Bank, said. “On behalf of the entire River City Bank team, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Anker for all his valuable and significant contributions to the bank and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. He will be missed.”
“We are fortunate to have an executive with Brian’s experience to serve as Interim CFO,” Fleming said. “He is intimately familiar with the bank’s culture, along with all of the bank’s accounting, treasury management and financial reporting requirements. We will be conducting a search to fill the CFO position on a permanent basis and Brian will be a candidate for the role.”
