Paul M. Aguggia, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"To say that Bart has earned his retirement after 43 years in
banking and 23 years with CSBK is an understatement. On behalf of
the entire CSBK family we thank Bart for his selfless service; his
talent, experience and warm and engaging approach will be missed.”
Mr. Aguggia continued, "At the same time we are pleased to be
adding a professional to CSBK’s executive management team of Mike's
caliber. Mike’s varied experiences in banking and stature in the
community make him well prepared for the COO role. Additionally,
bringing Mike onboard at this time will be of great benefit to our
employees, clients and shareholders as he and Bart work together to
transition seamlessly."
Mr. Lesler joins Clifton Bancorp from Bancorp of New Jersey
where he served for more than 10 years in progressive executive
management positions, most recently as Chief Executive Officer.
During his community banking career, Mike has served in various
executive management positions and has been responsible for all
functions within the business, including operations, finance,
lending, and retail services. Mr. Lesler commented, “CSBK is a bank
that is on the move and I’m excited to be coming in at a time where
there is opportunity to shape its future successes. As Mr. Aguggia
noted, working in tandem with Bart will ensure a smooth hand-off
for all.”
Previously, Mr. Lesler held the position of Senior Vice
President of Interchange Capital Corp., a subsidiary of Interchange
