Congratulations to Senior Account Representative, Gabriela (Gaby) Bonina and Information & Risk Analyst Nicole Notarangelo on their selection as this month’s Employees of the Month.

Gaby was selected because even though she has only been with us for a short time, we could not be happier with her performance. She is an extremely fast learner, innate sales person and valuable team member. Some of her personal accomplishments include top engagement numbers in the department, ability to handle multiple schedules at a time, and proven success in customer relationship management.

Nicole was chosen because she has been an integral part of selecting and setting up a new vendor that will streamline an important system for the Bank. She also completed a project using advanced report writing skills while learning about specific products. Her project will be a huge asset to the commercial loan department.

Since joining the Bank in 1990, Business Development Officer Mike Bilinsky has held various positions including Branch Manager before heading up the Business Development team in 2009.

As his career grew, so did his family with whom he enjoys spending time traveling and vacationing on Cape Cod, as well as coaching youth baseball in his hometown of Westborough. These days, he’s anxiously waiting for the snow to melt and the warm weather to arrive so he can enjoy some of his favorite pastimes including hosting summer barbeques, fishing and cooking seafood, and attending live music events (including U2, which he has seen over 30 times in concert!).

Next time you see Mike, be sure to say hello and ask him if he’s having a “beautiful day!”

Congratulations to Senior Service Representative Debra Miranda and IT Specialist Damien Booker on their selection as this month’s Employees of the Month.

Debra was selected because of her positive attitude, her initiative to follow up with customers and her willingness to learn new programs. Damien was selected because he took over a project to improve our systems and even came in on a holiday weekend to complete the work.

Brian Ledwith, executive vice president and senior commercial lender, joined MutualOne Bank in 2007, having started his career as a management trainee in a one-branch bank on Congress Street in Boston during the 1990 recession.

Brian and his wife met when he was 18 and they have been together ever since. Together they have two children, a son in college and a daughter in high school, both of whom he coached in town sports including baseball, softball, soccer and hockey. While his coaching days are over, he still plays hockey twice a week and acts as the captain and (of course) treasurer for the team.

He received a bachelor’s degree from Boston College in 1990 and graduated from the Independent Community Bankers of America National School of Banking in Fairfield with honors in 2004. Next time you see Brian, make sure to ask how his hockey team is doing!
