Parkside Welcomes Q3 2025 New Hires

Our Growing Team



Parkside most recently welcomed these exceptional employees in Q3 2025:
Whitley Coltrane
Commercial Credit Analyst

Whitley recently graduated from The University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Finance and a Bloomberg Market Concepts Certification. Last summer, she gained valuable experience through a banking internship at Royal Banks, where she developed skills in financial forecasting, credit analysis, and Excel. With a strong passion for research, she enjoys understanding the full picture rather than focusing on individual data points, making her a strong fit for our analyst team. Whitley also enjoys working on personal projects in Excel, which includes building a budgeting tool to help her peers manage their finances. We are thrilled to welcome Whitley to Parkside!

Michael Margiotta
Commercial Credit Analyst

Michael is a recent graduate of University of Denver, with studies focused on banking and finance. He began his banking career while in college as a part-time teller with Wells Fargo, where he gained valuable experience on the front lines of client service. Known for his hard work and curiosity, Michael is eager to continue expanding his knowledge and expertise in all areas of banking and business, including credit analysis. He is passionate about building a meaningful career centered on strong relationships and approaches every opportunity with optimism and excitement. We are excited to welcome Michael to Parkside! 

Tim Leach
IT Infrastructure Engineer

Tim joins us from NHN Holdings, where he most recently served as an IT Analyst. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from the University of Missouri and the Azure Fundamentals (AZ900) Certification. Tim brings a strong technical foundation to our team, along with a natural passion for computers and technology. He is known for his critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and commitment to always finding the right solution. If he doesn’t know the answer, he’ll track it down. In his free time, he enjoys building computers for himself and others. We are excited to welcome Tim to Parkside!

SVP/Head of Treasury Management


With more than 30 years of banking and leadership experience, including 20 years specializing in treasury, Mike brings a client-centered and strategic approach to every engagement. He partners with clients to optimize working capital, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver innovative, value-added treasury solutions.

For the remainder of 2025, Mike will begin transitioning into his role of Head of Treasury Management, as he prepares to succeed Kelley Schwartz upon her retirement. We are glad to have Mike on the team and look forward to the expertise and leadership he brings to Parkside!
