Starion Bank has named a new Bismarck-Mandan Market Manager and promoted two area bankers to new leadership positions. The move showcases the bank’s excellent customer service and sales skills and promises to continue expanding its already impressive local business and agribusiness portfolios.

Doug Zinke was promoted from Business Banking Officer SVP to Bismarck-Mandan Market Manager. He will oversee the local Bismarck-Mandan business bankers, agribusiness bankers, retail managers, private bankers, and mortgage officers.

Doug joined Starion Bank in 2011 and has nearly 20 years of experience in banking. Doug graduated with a bachelor’s degree and master's degree in business administration from the University of Mary and graduated from the Graduate School of Banking in Colorado.

James Reiner, who came to Starion in 2017, has assumed the role of Ag Business Banking Manager, SVP. He grew up on a fifth-generation crop and livestock farm in South Dakota, making him a valuable resource for producers in the region who rely on his expertise to meet their operation’s financial needs.  Reiner will manage both the agribusiness bankers and business banking representatives in the Bismarck/Mandan market.
 
Reiner graduated from SDSU with a bachelor's degree from the College of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and earned his master's in business administration from Wayne State College. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for McCabe United Methodist Church, the North Dakota Banker’s Association Agriculture Committee, and volunteers for many youth sports organizations in the Bismarck/Mandan area.

Joel Stugelmeyer has assumed the role of Business Banking Manager, SVP. Stugelmeyer came to Starion in 2014 and has 19 years of banking experience.  He will manage both the business banking and cash management teams in the Bismarck/Mandan market.

“I’m honored to take over this new role and increase Starion Bank’s positive impact on the local business and agriculture sectors, and our core value of volunteering in the communities we serve,” says Doug Zinke. “I look forward to James and Joel contributing their leadership skills, as well as their understanding of our local economic climate, and advocating for the success of our customers.”
