Rockland Trust Co. has chosen Dawn Mugford as its chief risk officer, replacing Edward Seksay who will remain as general counsel of Rockland Trust and parent company Independent Bank Corp. and as president and board chair of Rockland Trust’s affiliated charitable foundations.
Mugford most recently served as senior vice president and director of operational risk management, corporate security, and investigations at Boston’s Eastern Bank for nearly four years, according to a Tuesday press release from Rockland.
“Dawn’s keen analytical skills, extensive experience, and innovative approach to risk management will help us build on the strong ERM infrastructure Rockland Trust has deeply invested in and worked diligently to evolve over the last five years,” said Christopher Oddleifson, CEO of Rockland Trust.
Rockland Trust has more than 1,500 employees and assets in excess of $20 billion as of March 31, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Locally, the bank has 10 branches in Central Massachusetts, with seven in Worcester county, including a new branch in Westborough opened in June.
