Haan will retire Nov. 1 after more than 18 years of leadership and
service at Macatawa. The board has appointed Jon Swets as president
and CEO and Bryan Barker as chief financial officer effective at
that time.
Swets, who joined Macatawa Bank in 2002 to serve as senior vice
president and chief financial officer, brings more than two decades
of banking and leadership experience with Macatawa Bank to the
position. Barker, an experienced CPA who joined Macatawa Bank in
2010 as senior accounting and reporting manager, will move into
Swets’s former role.
Haan, appointed president and CEO of the Company and the Bank in
2009, will continue to serve the remainder of his term on the
board, which will expire May 2024. He will also stay engaged with
community relations, customer development and customer meetings
from his office in the downtown Grand Rapids location for a period
of time following his retirement.
Swets will also be supported by an experienced executive team
consisting of 10 individuals with more than 100 years of combined
service and leadership with Macatawa Bank.
“We are pleased to welcome Jon into his new leadership role as
president and CEO and Bryan as CFO,” said Richard Postma, chairman
of Macatawa Bank Corp. and Macatawa Bank. “They have been integral
members of our dedicated team for many years and have a breadth of
banking and leadership experience that will serve us, our
shareholders and our customers well.
“We thank Ron for his service and contributions to help Macatawa
become one of West Michigan’s most trusted community banks.”
Swets brings more than 36 years of experience
in banking, finance, accounting and management to his new role.
Prior to joining Macatawa Bank, Swets served as a banking practice
partner for Crowe Chizek and held the position of chief financial
officer for AmeriBank until its acquisition by Fifth Third
Bank.
In his new role, Swets will oversee the overall operations and
strategic direction of the Company and the Bank, which has nearly
400 employees serving customers across 26 full-service branches
throughout Kent, Ottawa and northern Allegan counties.
“I’m honored to be part of an experienced and quality executive
team who will continue to lead the day-to-day operations of
Macatawa Bank,” Swets said. “Our board has done a wonderful job of
setting the tone and establishing a sense of discipline that has
been our guiding force for the past 15 years.”
In addition to his public accounting and banking experience,
Swets has also served in his community as a director at Pine Rest
Christian Mental Health Services, Grandville Calvin Christian
Schools and Foundation, Camp Roger and CRC Loan Fund.
Barker is an experienced CPA with more than 20
years of experience in the financial services industry, with a
particular focus on publicly traded institutions. Prior to joining
Macatawa Bank, he worked for a top-10 CPA firm for nearly 17
years.
Haan has been in banking since 1975 working in
various capacities, serving in many roles during his tenure with
Macatawa. Prior to joining the bank, he served in key leadership
roles at other financial institutions headquartered in West
Michigan.
“I have been fortunate to have had a great banking career
spanning nearly five decades with the last 18 years with Macatawa,”
