Patenaude, who succeeds Robert M. Wilson, has served as the bank’s chief financial officer and treasurer since 2007.

In October, the bank announced Wilson’s resignation, effective Dec. 31., following a medical leave of absence earlier this year. Wilson will remain with the bank as a member of its board of directors.
