2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Paul Cheremka, Winchester Savings Bank

Number of years at firm: 1

One thing on my bucket list: I would love to see more of the world and immerse myself in new and wonderful cultures.

When I am not working, I am: Spending time with my three sisters and many nieces and nephews, as well as my French bulldog, Tater.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Just one year ago, I joined Winchester Savings Bank with the opportunity to take a strong commercial lending program to new and amazing heights. Our team responded to the challenge so well that we achieved record asset growth in 2022 while maintaining the exceptional level of service the bank is known for. We are creating partnerships with business owners, which allows the bank to invest locally and support the community, and it helps those companies to do the same. I’m so proud of our group and what we have built at the bank and in the Greater Boston business community.
