ST. CLOUD, MINN. — Nov. 9, 2026 —
Falcon National Bank has announced a planned executive leadership transition effective January 1, 2027. Shelly Doll, who has served as President since early 2026, will assume the role of President & Chief Executive Officer. John Herges, who has served as CEO since the bank's inception in 2003, will transition to CEO Emeritus.
The transition is the result of a thoughtful succession planning process designed to support the Bank's continued stability, growth and long-term success.
“After 23 years as CEO, I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished and the relationships we have built throughout the communities we serve,” said Herges. “Shelly brings tremendous experience, strong leadership and a genuine commitment to community banking. I have great confidence in her ability to lead Falcon into the future.”
In his role as CEO Emeritus, Herges will remain actively involved with the organization as a Director and Shareholder, focusing on Falcon's long-term strategic direction. His responsibilities will include shareholder and Board succession planning, as well as evaluating potential acquisition opportunities that align with the Bank's long-term goals.
Doll brings more than 30 years of experience in financial services, including leadership roles across community banking and financial institutions. Since joining Falcon as President, she has worked closely with Herges and the leadership team to support the Bank's strategic direction and continued commitment to customer relationships.
“I'm grateful for John's leadership, his trust and the foundation he has helped build over the past two decades,” said Doll. “I'm honored to take on this responsibility and look forward to working alongside our talented team as we continue serving our customers, supporting our communities and building on Falcon's success.”
