“My experience has prepared me for this exciting role to support the bank’s finance team while advancing our mission to deliver on our 'You Matter More' promise to help our employees, customers and communities prosper," Williams told Mainebiz.

Williams brings a variety of accounting and industry experience, including his most recent role as chief financial officer of University Credit Union.

He also has served as manager of treasury services and real estate accounting at Cross Insurance, controller at Penquis Community Action Agency and senior tax specialist at BerryDunn. 

“Bob’s financial expertise and experience will be invaluable to both the team and our clients as we continue to serve our community,” said Michael O’Connor, executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of Bangor Savings Bank.

The Bangor resident holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting and a master’s in accounting, both from the University of Maine. 

Williams is an active volunteer in the community, donating time to Junior Achievement of Maine. He is also a past treasurer of the Bangor Humane Society's board of directors.

Bangor Savings, founded in 1852, has more than 60 branches in Maine and New Hampshire, as well as business and loan production offices in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
