Madison, WI (August 15, 2025): After 29 years of distinguished service, Ken Thompson will be retiring from Capitol Bank on October 9th. Ken will remain on the Capitol Bank Board of Directors as Chairman.
“My journey with Capitol Bank has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Ken. “Reflecting on nearly three decades of growth, I am filled with pride. From humble beginnings, our Bank has become a strong, stable, and respected community institution. This is all thanks to the trust of our customers, the support of our shareholders, and the unwavering commitment of our employees.”
Ken joined the Bank in 1996, helping lead the growth of the organization to $600 million in assets and three Madison-area locations. After shepherding a thoughtful leadership transition these past few years, Ken has positioned Capitol Bank for continued success and growth.

“Ken’s long-term commitment to Capitol Bank and his dedication to giving back are textbook examples of what it means to be a community banker. While he won’t be going far, I’m excited for Ken to take this well-earned retirement as we celebrate a banking career spanning four decades of success,” said Justin Hart, CEO.
