End of an era — and the start of a new one!
After nearly 25 years at Medallion Bank, Don Poulton is retiring as CEO, effective June 30, 2026.
If you know Don, you know he's more than a corner-office exec. He's the kind of leader who walked the halls, knew every employee by name, and genuinely cared about the people around him. Oh, and he also happened to grow Medallion Bank into a $2.6 billion institution with record profitability. No big deal.
Don will continue to serve on our Board of Directors as Chair of the Risk Committee — because let's be honest, you can't keep a good banker away for long.
Justin Haley, our current President and a Medallion Bank team member since 2011, will take over as CEO on July 1. Justin brings 30+ years of banking experience and the same people-first mindset that makes Medallion Bank special.
Thank you, Don, for nearly 25 incredible years. And congratulations, Justin — we can't wait to see what's next!
