James F. Paulhus has been named President and Chief Executive Officer of UniBank, replacing 25-year bank veteran Kenneth J. Redding, the bank said.
Paulhus has been UniBank’s executive vice president for three years and brings to his new role nearly three decades of bank management and financial services experience.
The bank gave no reason for Redding’s departure.
Prior to joining UniBank, Paulhus was central Massachusetts market president for Bank of America.
"I am pleased with the confidence the Board has placed in me and anticipate a seamless transition as our team goes forward," said Paulhus. "It is exciting to take over the leadership of UniBank at this time with its tremendous financial strength and exceptional management team already in place. This allows us to focus on our shared vision for the Bank’s future and continued growth."
