About Nick Klein

I’m on a mission to eliminate waste and add value to every process. I love ending my day knowing that I made something better and made a difference in the lives of others. Work is best when people have fun, find purpose in their work, continually improve their processes, and are treated with love and respect. Life’s too short to work for companies who have “always done it this way” and treat their employees like dirt. Along the way, I’ve had the chance to support strategic planning, simplify complex processes, and help build a culture where people are excited about quality and clarity. I’m always learning (and always aware of how much more there is to learn), but what drives me is the idea that small, thoughtful, and consistent changes can radically improve a company and the lives of its employees.Whether it\'s risk management, Lean, banking, running, or sourdough, let\'s chat!

Experience

  1. Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer

    Ephrata National Bank

    Jan 2021 — Present

    Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, I effectively serve as a check and balance in order to ensure that ENB remains safe and sound, operating within our stated risk appetite. I seek to keep both management and the Board aware of both current and emerging risks, in order to respond appropriately.My overall approach to ERM is strategic; ERM should be fully embedded throughout our company\'s culture. If all employees are aware of the role they play in risk management, risk management will be implemented at both tactical and strategic levels, leading to stronger outcomes.
