Peshtigo National Bank Celebrates 5 Years of Excellence with Jeff Williquette, Senior Vice President, Chief Credit Officer
Peshtigo National Bank proudly celebrates the 5-year anniversary of Jeff Williquette, Senior Vice President, Chief Credit Officer, whose leadership, expertise, and deep-rooted passion for teamwork—both on and off the field—have been instrumental in strengthening the bank’s credit division and ensuring its long-term success.
Since joining the bank in 2020, Jeff has played a key role in shaping the bank’s approach to lending and credit risk management. With his deep understanding of financial strategy and his keen ability to assess complex credit situations, Jeff has contributed to the bank’s ability to offer tailored, strategic financial solutions that meet the diverse needs of the community. His thoughtful approach to credit management and his commitment to excellence have earned him the trust and respect of colleagues and clients alike.
Jeff’s dedication to leadership and strategy extends beyond banking—he has a lifelong passion for baseball. Having played or coached baseball and softball every year except one since 1983, Jeff knows the value of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. He spent years coaching his son’s teams with the Wisconsin Panthers travel organization before becoming a head coach for the GRB North travel program. In 2025, he is taking his coaching talents to the high school level as an assistant JV-2 coach at Bay Port, his alma mater. Just as he guides young athletes on the field, he applies the same principles of mentorship and strategic thinking to his role at Peshtigo National Bank.
“Jeff’s thoughtful leadership and strategic insight have been essential to our continued growth,” said Kelly M. Heroux, President & CEO of Peshtigo National Bank. “His ability to guide the bank through complex credit decisions while maintaining strong relationships with our clients is invaluable. We are grateful for his contributions over the past five years and look forward to his continued impact on the future of Peshtigo National Bank.”
“Credit is more than just a financial transaction; it’s about understanding the people behind the numbers,” said Jeff Williquette. “At Peshtigo National Bank, we take the time to truly listen to our clients, work with them to understand their goals, and develop solutions that help them thrive. Much like baseball, success in banking comes from preparation, teamwork, and always keeping your eye on the ball. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I’m excited about the future we’re building together.”
As Chief Credit Officer, Jeff has been integral to maintaining the bank’s strong financial health and helping clients make sound financial decisions. His dedication to both the bank’s mission and the well-being of the local community has been a driving force behind the bank’s success. Whether in the office or on the baseball diamond, Jeff remains committed to fostering growth, teamwork, and opportunity for those he serves.
