PITTSFIELD — Chuck Leach didn’t take the typical route to his current position.
Leach, the president and CEO of Lee Bank since July 2015, prepped for his role by working for many years in wealth management, a financial sector he says isn’t the traditional road taken by those planning to head financial institutions.
But, taking a different path is part of Leach’s nature.
The native of Farmington, Conn., majored in government at Colby College, and he attended the Institute for European Studies, an academic think tank in Belgium, as an undergrad, before deciding to make banking his career.
He has competed as a cyclist several times in the annual Josh Billings RunAground triathlon, finishing the bike leg for his team, Minkler Insurance, in 2018, despite losing a pedal during the race. How many bank presidents can say that?
