Luminate Bank Brings on New CEO, Marc Campbell

MINNETONKA, MINN. (DECEMBER 2022) – It is with much anticipation and gratitude that Luminate Bank has officially announced Marc Campbell as the new CEO. This change has been a few months in the making, and the bank could not be more excited to share the news.

 

Campbell brings with him over 30 years of expertise in community banking, with experiences across many areas that include operations, finance, credit, sales, compliance, and leadership. Campbell first started his career at Lake Area Bank in November 1997 and was in the role of President & CEO from August 2007 through October 2022.

 

During this time, he led the bank through branch acquisitions, as well as the significant expansion of the Lake Area Mortgage division. Campbell has been a leader through many banking challenges and changes—including the great recession and the complex sale of the bank—all while achieving notable results. A primary contributor to his success is his passion and beliefs which stem from a desire to develop a supportive, honest, open, and rewarding environment.

 

“I take great pride, passion, and responsibility in the role as a community banker and CEO,” says Campbell. “Realizing the impact and difference we make in the lives of our customers, communities, and employees is part of my approach to success. I’m excited to celebrate and share in that success with my new peers at Luminate Bank.”
