This week the Cape Ann Savings Bank announced it has named Starry D. Poe as the 178-year-old bank’s Chief Human Resources Officer.
Starry brings more than 30 years of banking and Human Resources experience to the position.
Starting her career in retail banking, Starry gained experience in every position within a bank branch from teller to branch manager, before transitioning to Human Resources. Most recently Starry held the position of VP, Director of Human Resources at Webster First Federal Credit Union. In the Human Resources role, Starry is most proud of truly making a difference with employees with her daily interactions. Looking through the lens of the employee prior to making recommendations or decisions is key.
“’Human’ comes before the ‘Resources’,” she said.
When asked about joining the Cape Ann Savings Bank team Starry states, “I am elated for the opportunity to work alongside (Cape Ann Savings Bank President) Marianne Smith and team, the camaraderie since stepping foot in the door has shown me a glimpse of the culture and what’s to come.”
Cape Ann Savings Bank has a long history serving Cape Ann as a commercial and retail bank since 1846, with locations in Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Rockport.
