Buckeye Community Bank has promoted Adam Wirkiowski to the position of Small Business Lender. Wirkiowski has established himself as the go-to expert for small business financing.
“We are excited to have Adam help us grow our reach to small businesses,” said Buckeye President and CEO Ben Norton. “His drive for helping small businesses succeed is evident. Local businesses are the backbone of our economy, and we’re committed to helping them grow and thrive.”
Dedicated to making a difference in smaller businesses, Wirkiowski is developing innovative options that are both flexible and accessible. Funding options include lines of credit for short-term working capital needs and term loans for fixed assets such as equipment and buildings. Moreover, he assists business owners in understanding how to manage their finances effectively.
“Through my new role, I can use my experience in banking and manufacturing to help local businesses grow and expand into larger businesses,” Wirkiowski said. “I have focused on getting out in the larger community and meeting business owners. Buckeye Community Bank can offer solutions that can change the trajectory of a business, and we want more people to know about them.”
Wirkiowski employs a tried-and-true approach to community banking. By doing so, he has spent the last several months meeting with local entrepreneurs, gaining a deeper understanding of their challenges and assisting them in growing their businesses. He has found leveraging Buckeye’s internal expertise and network helpful.
“I’m here to help businesses navigate financing complexities and find the resources they need to succeed,” said Wirkiowski. “Our lending team, led by Paul Campagna, has been welcoming and helpful as I help small businesses find the resources they need to define their success.”
The results of Wirkiowski’s work, he hopes, will be noticeable as more businesses grow and flourish. He said this will significantly impact the community, with more jobs created and retained as the local economy is strengthened.
Wirkiowski lives in Westlake with his wife, Kate, and their two children. His hobbies include reading, cooking and exercising.
