Associated Bank’s Chief Human Resources Officer Angie DeWitt will retire on June 2 after 17 years with Wisconsin’s largest bank holding company.
DeWitt, who joined Associated in 2008 and has served as CHRO since 2019, will remain with the company temporarily in an advisory role to help with the leadership transition.
“Angie’s career is a true success story, one that we proudly celebrate,” said President and CEO Andy Harmening. “She has been a trusted partner to me since day one.”
DeWitt began her career at Associated in the finance department before advancing to the top human resources position. During her tenure as CHRO, she led several key initiatives including implementing new talent recruitment and development programs, navigating executive compensation challenges, forming a culture team, and launching refreshed core values.
Career reflection
“I take great pride in the legacy I leave behind, particularly the work done to strengthen and transform the human resources function to be a strategic partner and support our organization’s talent needs,” said DeWitt.
After nearly two decades with the bank, DeWitt expressed both satisfaction with her accomplishments and enthusiasm for her next chapter.
“It has been an incredible career, and I have truly enjoyed working alongside our fantastic HR team in support of colleagues, but I’m also looking forward to this next chapter and the opportunity to spend more time with my family,” said DeWitt.
Associated Banc-Corp, with $43 billion in assets, operates nearly 200 banking locations serving more than 100 communities throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri. The company announced separately that KeyBank executive Julio Manso will succeed DeWitt as chief human resources officer.
