Benjamin Johnson, VP Commercial Lending

Benjamin Johnson knows all the best spots in greater Cincinnati – including the Museum Center, the Zoo, Kings Island and Graeter's – and he definitely knows his way around small business financing. Ben is a two-time Alloy (formally HCDC) Lender of the Year who set the pace for lending to small and mid-sized businesses at his previous banks, but he came to Heritage Bank to recapture the spirit of community banking. “Banking should be simple and approachable—not dull, and not needlessly complicated like at many banks”, said Ben who enjoys the diverse range of businesses he has been able to help grow during his banking career as well as riding sidecar on their entrepreneurial adventures. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, and whets his taste for adventure through Jurassic Park films and travel.
