St. Mary’s Bank is pleased to announce Sanela Zulic's promotion to vice president and regional manager. Zulic will oversee branch operations, business development strategies, and team management for the Greater Manchester and Portsmouth markets.

“Sanela’s primary focus will be fostering community relationships and ensuring that branch teams deliver exceptional, personalized service,” said Leo Simard, chief retail banking officer. “Her extensive banking background, particularly her work with business owners, uniquely qualifies her to lead our teams in Manchester and Portsmouth.”

“I’m looking forward to exploring innovative ways to support our members’ diverse financial needs,” Zulic said. “Ultimately, our members should feel confident that we are their partners and advocates in realizing their financial goals.”

Having served with St. Mary's Bank for four years, most recently as a senior business development officer, Zulic has been instrumental in cultivating strong relationships with business owners and supporting small business lending.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Zulic is an avid hiker and will soon graduate with an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University. Balancing between professional dedication and personal passions, Zulic is a family-oriented mentor who maintains a holistic approach to life and leadership and plans to climb all of New Hampshire’s peaks.
