President and CEO
Quaint Oak Bank
Strong’s primary duties include the strategic leadership and expansion of the bank and its six subsidiary companies. He has been in his current position for 22 years.
He said in the last year the bank was tested by the rapid increase of interest rates experienced by the industry, along with the reduction of available liquidity in the industry. “We overcame this through opportunistic wholesale funding coupled with a strategically planned capital raise,” Strong said.
“Our team is an unbelievable group of people. In the most difficult times, they work harder and closer to one another. It is a phenomenon that we experience here,” he said.
