We are delighted to celebrate our Board Chair, Jeff Starke, on being named one of the Top 10 CIOs, and ultimately #1 in Banking and Finance (U.S. Edition) by Digital Edge Media Group and Digital Edge Magazine.
Jeff, Executive Vice President and Chief Information and Operating Officer at Republic Bank, was recognized for his authentic leadership, commitment to developing others, and human-centered approach to technology.
Those qualities are equally evident in his service to The Center. Over the past 3 years, Jeff has served as Director, Vice Chair, and now Chair of our board. He approaches our mission with compassion, enthusiasm, and a clear sense of urgency, generously sharing his time, talent, and expertise. Among his many contributions, Jeff led Republic Bankโs exceptional Information and Technology Team in building The Centerโs new website.
Jeff is an extraordinary asset to Republic Bank, his colleagues, The Center, and our community.
Congratulations, Jeff, on this well-deserved honor, and thank you for your wisdom, energy, and generosity in all realms in which you serve.
