First Citizens Bank of Iowa has made some changes to their leadership team. 

Sarah Nielsen has been named chief financial officer after Jeff Gribben switched to executive vice president and chief operations officer. Nielsen will now be reporting to CEO and President Marti Rodamaker, working from the First Citizens Bank office in Mason City.

Nielsen brings with her more than 22 years of experience in the financial leadership industry and was recently the CFO of Winnebago Industries Inc. Before her role with Winnebago, Nielsen was the senior manager in audit practice for Deloitte & Touche LLP.

In his new role, Gribben will be bringing new strategic leadership to the company and will report to the president and CEO.

Rodamaker is pleased with the new changes in leadership. 

"I am very excited to have Sarah join First Citizens Bank," Rodamaker said. "Her financial and strategic experience will further enhance our senior leadership team."

Additionally, Rodamaker is happy to have Gribben in a more influential position. 

"Also, I would like to congratulate Jeff in his new role and look forward to the contributions he will make helping guide our company to reach our future goals," Rodamaker said.
