Farmers National Bank Expands Executive Leadership: Brian Jackson Appointed Chief Operating Officer; Michael Oberhaus Appointed Chief Administrative and Risk Officer

CANFIELD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Farmers National Bank announces two internal executive leadership changes. Brian Jackson will transition to Chief Operating Officer. Michael Oberhaus will become Chief Administrative and Risk Officer.

Jackson, who currently serves as Chief Information Officer, has been with Farmers since 2009. He brings more than 30 years of information technology experience to this new role. Jackson has been an integral leader of company-wide operational enhancements throughout his tenure with Famers. He is a lifelong Youngstown resident with a degree in Computer Science from Youngstown State University.

Oberhaus joined Farmers in 2015 through the acquisition of First National Bank of Orville. His background includes more than 25 years of banking and financial industry experience, and he has been a certified public accountant since 2012. His expanded role will include leadership oversight of key bank functions while he retains responsibility for compliance and risk management. Oberhaus was a dual major at Marietta College studying industrial engineering and accounting.

Both appointments support Farmers’ continued growth as it reaches 80 branches across Ohio and Pennsylvania and $7 billion in assets following the first-quarter closing of the Middlefield Banc Corp acquisition.

“As Farmers continues to grow, aligning our leadership structure with the needs of a larger organization is essential. Brian and Mike are proven leaders at Farmers, and these appointments build on their experience within our organization,” said Kevin Helmick, President and Chief Executive Officer.
