Paul M. Provost has assumed the role of President of MillRiver Wealth Management (MillRiver) effective June 27, 2016. He was named Executive Vice President of MillRiver upon its formation in April 2015. MillRiver Wealth Management, along with Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) and Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB), is a subsidiary of New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp (NHMB).
“Paul was instrumental in the creation of MillRiver,” said Sam Laverack, President and CEO for New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp. “Under his guidance, we have successfully combined the expertise and resources of the investment services arms of the Merrimack and MVSB, making it possible to provide expanded and more sophisticated wealth management and trust capabilities to our local communities.”
“This is a very exciting time in the evolution of MillRiver Wealth Management,” added Provost. “We plan to take every opportunity to fully explore new and appropriate prospects to ensure the continued growth of this important affiliate, which ultimately affords NHMB the ability to grow and meet our broader strategic plans and objectives.”
In 2013, the wealth management departments of Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) and Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) joined under Provost’s leadership.
