GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Bank recently named Stephenie Peck as the company’s new Security Officer. Peck, who began her career at the bank in 1997 as a switchboard officer, will continue to serve as OVB Assistant Vice President, Regional Branch Administrator as well.
Ryan Jones, OVB Chief Operating and Risk Officer, described Peck’s banking background as making her the perfect fit for the security officer role.
“Stephenie has a wealth of knowledge in this field and with her background being focused on teller and branch structure, she brings many qualifications and skills to carry forward our security program,” Jones said.
Tami LeMaster, OVB Vice President, Branch Administration, also praised Peck.
“Stephenie strives to make OVB excel in customer service and quality work. She is always interested in hearing our group ideas and concerns to do better as a company. She has never backed off from any new task that she is approached with,” LeMaster said. “She demonstrates excellent teamwork in all that she does and views this an OVB effort, not just for the groups directly reporting to her.”
Peck is a graduate of Southwestern High School. During her time at OVB, Peck was named the 2012 recipient of the Joycelyn M. Barlow Award of Excellence. She also is a graduate of the Ohio Bankers League Bank Leadership Institute.
