Rockwall-based Lakeside Bank has appointed Chris Williams as president and chief executive officer. With 25 years of community banking experience, Williams plans to use his proven leadership and management expertise to enhance efficiency with improved processes, expand banking products and advance technology to optimize operations and enhance the customer experience.

“Lakeside Bank is honored to have built the dream team consisting of the top talent in the industry with Chris Williams at the helm,” says Ken Pratt, board member.
