Case Study: Bank of Sun Prairie secures a new President/CEO with Wipfli

Providing guidance and expertise to ensure the best fit for the Bank

Bank of Sun Prairie, an independent financial institution in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, turned to Wipfli when the board needed help recruiting and selecting a new President/Chief Executive Officer ahead of Alice Hensen’s retirement. The bank had not conducted an executive-level recruitment in more than 40 years, so the board needed support that fit its strategy, culture, and leadership needs.

Wipfli worked closely with the board to define the role, analyze compensation, source candidates, screen applicants, guide interviews, and support background checks and legal paperwork. With Wipfli’s human resources expertise, Bank of Sun Prairie selected Jimmy Kauffman as its new President/Chief Executive Officer, with leadership that aligns with the bank’s culture and strategic direction.
