SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — The woman who has led Generations Bank since the death of previous president and CEO Menzo Case in October will continue as the bank’s top executive.

Generations Bank on Dec. 5 announced the appointment of Angela Krezmer as its new president and CEO, effective Nov. 27. 

With the appointment, Krezmer is the first female president and CEO of Generations Bank and its 13th top executive overall, per the bank’s announcement.

Krezmer had been serving as the bank’s interim principal executive officer since Oct. 16, following the death of Menzo Case, the bank’s previous president and CEO. Case served as the bank’s top executive for 15 years.

Generations Bank says Krezmer will “bring continuity and innovation to her new role.” In addition to her role as president and CEO, Krezmer has been elected to join the bank’s board of directors. 

Prior to this appointment, Krezmer has been serving as the CFO of Generations Bank since 2021. She will continue her duties as CFO, the bank noted.

“In a historic move for our Seneca Falls-based organization, a town renowned for women’s rights, Ms. Krezmer becomes the first female President & CEO,” Brad Jones, chairman of the board of directors at Generations Bank, said in a news release. “Her proven track record, strategic vision, and commitment to excellence make her the ideal candidate to lead Generations Bank.”

Krezmer said she’s “honored” to succeed the late Menzo Case as the bank’s president and CEO. 

“I am committed to maintaining the high standards set by my predecessor and steering our dedicated team toward a future that prioritizes community well-being and progress,” Krezmer said.

Prior to joining Generations Bank, Krezmer served as CFO of Prosper Bank (now known as Presence Bank) in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Prior to that role, she served for more than a decade at Fairport Savings Bank in Monroe County, where she held various positions including CFO.

Krezmer is a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology and the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking at the University of Pennsylvania and has worked in the banking industry since 2008.

Founded in 1870 and headquartered in Seneca Falls, Generations Bank serves the Finger Lakes and Western New York regions with locations in Seneca Falls, Auburn, Union Springs, Waterloo, Geneva, Phelps, Farmington, and Medina.
