Associated Bank Names Jason Hansen as Nebraska and Western Iowa Market President

Associated Bank announced on April 16, 2026, that Jason Hansen has been appointed Nebraska and Western Iowa market president and business segment leader for Commercial Banking, effective immediately.

Hansen previously served as president of American National Bank, which Associated Bank acquired with the deal closing on April 1, 2026.

His career at American National Bank began in 2000 as a teller, progressing through various responsibilities before being named to significant commercial and client-centered management roles.

Hansen’s expertise in relationship development, financial structuring, and the creation of operational efficiencies contributed to American National Bank’s achievement of its financial goals and objectives.

Phil Trier, executive vice president and head of Corporate & Commercial Banking at Associated Bank, stated that Hansen’s appointment marks an exciting next step following the recent acquisition because he not only understands the market but has helped shape it.

Trier added that Hansen’s deep roots in the community and longstanding relationships with clients and local leaders make him an invaluable addition to the team.

As Associated Bank builds on the strong foundation established by American National Bank, Hansen’s leadership will help ensure continuity for clients while accelerating growth and impact in the region.
