Industry veteran to begin new job in the spring

Chris Logan, a banking industry veteran with over 20 years of experience, has been named incoming president and CEO of the Bank of New Hampshire.

He will succeed interim Michael J. Long, interim president and CEO, on April 1, 2021, the bank said. Long was named to the interim post after the resignation in the spring by Paul J. Falvey, who at the time cited personal reasons for his departure after leading the financial institution through three years of growth.

Logan joined the Laconia-based bank in 2017, and he currently serves as chief operating officer. Before joining Bank of New Hampshire, he served in executive roles at Androscoggin Bank in Maine, where he was senior vice president and manager of commercial banking before becoming executive vice president and chief lending officer.

Long, who is a member of the board of directors will continue in that role as vice chair after Logan takes over.

“We worked diligently to ensure the selected candidate would continue to take us into the future in today’s challenging banking environment while maintaining our commitment to mutuality, and also building on the success of the bank,” said Suzanne Stiles, chair of the board.
