“Kent has played a vital role in the bank’s success over the past 20 years,” Heckman said in the release. “I am confident that under his leadership, we will continue to deliver exceptional personalized service and innovative solutions that make a difference for our clients and community.”

In his role as chairman, Heckman will “continue focusing on strategic initiatives and furthering the bank’s stakeholder relationships, playing an essential role in supporting Flatirons Bank’s long-term vision while serving as an ambassador for the bank,” the company said.
