Kevin LeMahieu spent the first 20 years of his career in public accounting, later transitioning to the private sector. In 2014, he took on the CFO role at Bank First.
Since 2017, LeMahieu has helped see Bank First through five acquisitions of other financial institutions — growing assets by more than 300% — and saw the bank through becoming a fully-public, NASDAQ-listed SEC registrant in 2018. “My fellow members of senior management and awesome finance department at Bank First made these ‘challenges’ truly enjoyable opportunities for growth,” he says.
LeMahieu also has held leadership positions on the boards of his children’s school and his church, and he says he has been dedicating time and resources “toward supporting causes focused on care for those living with dementia, a passion I inherited from my wife, Michelle, who dedicated her career to it,” he says.
LaMahieu has served as a volunteer financial adviser for Dementia Innovations, a nonprofit organization working toward creating a dignity-of-risk community for families affected by dementia. “Patterned after a community in the Netherlands, this will be the first community of its kind in the United States,” he says.
