CANTON, Mass. (February 10, 2023) – Shannon F. Mahoney recently joined Bank of Canton as senior vice president, compliance/CRA/risk officer. A former bank examiner and accomplished risk manager with more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, Ms. Mahoney brings to the bank an extensive background in risk management and mitigation, audit program development, and regulatory compliance management.
“Bank of Canton has done an admirable job balancing growth with the risks inherent in everyday operations,” said Ms. Mahoney. “The bank has adapted well to changes in the regulatory environment and the needs and expectations of its customers, and I’m looking forward to further developing its controls and adding to its capabilities to properly assess and manage risk in all its forms.”
Ms. Mahoney joins Bank of Canton following several leadership roles at Greater Boston area banks, where she developed multi-year, risk-based audit plans, strengthened enterprise risk frameworks and Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) programs, and served as primary liaison to regulatory authorities.
