ABOUT DAVE VLAHOS
Chairman and former bank CEO with 35+ years of experience leading and governing regulated financial institutions. As CEO of Superior National Bank for more than a decade, I led the organization through significant growth—from approximately $500MM to over $1B in assets—while maintaining strong regulatory alignment and disciplined risk management. I now serve as Chairman, focused on governance, executive oversight, and long-term value creation. I bring deep board-level experience, currently chairing the Audit, Loan, Compensation, and Trust Committees, with a focus on financial integrity, risk discipline, and strategic alignment. My experience includes: • Scaling a regulated financial institution through organic growth and acquisition • Leading the acquisition and integration of a $200MM+ bank • Overseeing FDICIA readiness and strengthening internal control frameworks • Navigating complex regulatory environments (OCC, FDIC) • Driving balance sheet strategy, capital allocation, and profitability In addition to banking, I serve as an independent director for Great Lakes Sound & Vibration, providing governance and strategic oversight in an engineering and manufacturing environment. Bringing financial, operational, and governance experience applicable across both financial services and industrial environments. I am particularly interested in board and advisory roles where financial expertise, governance discipline, and real-world operating experience are critical—especially at the intersection of: • Financial services and fintech infrastructure • Digital assets and evolving payment systems • AI-driven risk management and operational efficiency My approach is pragmatic and operator-focused: strengthening governance, de-risking strategy, and enabling disciplined growth in complex environments. Open to: Public and private company boards, advisory roles, and governance-focused leadership opportunities
