Welcome to episode thirteen of Builder, Banker, Hacker, Chief! Joining me today is Alice Frazier, President and CEO of Bank of Charles Town.
On this show, I’m unpacking the stories, decisions, and influences that make people successful leaders. Alice doesn’t fit the modern profile of a disruptive personality. But that’s because we’ve confused ostentatious behavior with innovation and change.
My name is Nathan Baumeister; I am the Co-founder and CEO of ZSuite Tech and the host of this podcast.
When Alice entered the world of banking as an external auditor, she learned the business of community banking by looking deep into the numbers. But she craved the opportunity to take her findings as an auditor and turn them into meaningful changes for the institution. Her opportunity came in the aftermath of the Savings and Loan Crisis of the late 1980s.
At every step of her career, Alice brought the steady excellence and clear thinking that she learned showing horses as a teenager. She has also invested heavily in building relationships with colleagues outside the workplace – a vital skill that she encourages her entire team to exemplify.
In this episode you’ll hear how sometimes the disruption a company needs is not the disruption it deserves, why it’s important to get comfortable with discomfort, and what it takes to become Batman after years of playing Robin.
Alice Frazier is a queen among bankers, guiding BCT with a firm and loving hand that has positioned it for decades of growth.
