The American Bankers Association today announced that John Ciulla has been appointed chair of ABA’s American Bankers Council for the 2022-2023 membership year. Ciulla is the president and CEO of Webster Bank and Webster Financial Corp. in Stamford, Connecticut, and serves on ABA’s board of directors. The council is ABA’s banker-driven peer group for midsize bank chief executives.
