VP, Business Development & Municipal Banking Carie Ann Bailey
CANTON, Mass. (January 13, 2026) – Carie Ann Bailey (NMLS #2792085) recently joined Bank of Canton as vice president of business development and municipal banking, overseeing the bank’s portfolio of municipal clients and select business clients. She succeeds Paula Burke, who is retiring after 25 years at the bank. Bailey will support Bank of Canton’s growth initiatives by deepening existing client relationships and building new relationships throughout the South Shore and Neponset Valley areas.
“After thirty years in banking, I believe what differentiates one community bank from another is its level of customer service,” said Bailey. “It starts with understanding that banks play a vital role in a client’s success – even if it’s a quiet or invisible role – and that best-in-class service, delivered consistently, is the number one key to long-lasting, healthy partnerships.”
In her prior banking roles, Bailey has developed and launched new premier banking and customer experience programs, as well as staff training and incentive programs.
“Many banks are currently experiencing declines in service and satisfaction due to mergers, branch closures and other challenges,” Bailey continued, “so there’s tremendous opportunity for a local bank that’s steady and secure, with resources to invest in service delivery and support. I’m very excited to get to work here and make the most of this opportunity.”
“Carie Ann is a great addition to our team,” said Bank of Canton President & CEO Michael Lindberg. “She’s implemented successful service-oriented programs in her past roles, and I’m confident she will continue Paula’s great work and expand our presence in key market areas.”
Bailey is the past president of the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce, where she has held a director-level position since 2011. She also serves as a board member of New Hope, Inc., and executive board member of HopeHealth (formerly Community VNA). A resident of Lakeville, she volunteers with United Way, Boys and Girls Club Metro South, Our Daily Bread, and School on Wheels Massachusetts in her spare time.
