Bio
Joseph Raitano
Michael is the type of guy you want on your team. Strategic when it comes to all things banking, Michael can and will over-deliver. I worked alongside Mr. Verrone for 5 years, where he spearheaded the operations side of a project that brought in $1B into a small community bank. His presence brings out the best in the individuals around him. From IT to Audit and Compliance, there is not one area of Bank Operations that Michael doesn't know. I was saddened to see him leave, but glad he was able to grow at another financial institution. Someone once referred to him as Blue Chip, ... he is.
