Malgorzata Dubert
Asst. VP, Treasury Management

Malgorzata Dubert, also known as Mal, is our Assistant Vice President and Treasury Management Officer at our Park Ridge branch. Born and raised in Poland, Mal wanted to help people. So, her dream was to be a teacher. She received her MA in History with an Education minor and was indeed a teacher for a few years. However, the United States beckoned, and Mal moved here in her late 20’s. In America, she quickly realized the importance of financial awareness and money management. And so, Mal continued her focus on helping others by becoming a Banker!

Returning to school, Mal got her MBA at St. Francis University. And her banking career began!

Mal joined Lakeside Bank in 2019 with over 10 years of banking experience. And what great experience! Personal Banker, Business Banking Specialist, Branch Manager, and Treasury Management Specialist.

Mal is based at our new Park Ridge branch where she helps businesses of all sizes better manage their cash flow and streamline business operations. With her expertise and the Treasury Management tools Lakeside offers, she helps businesses save money and time. Mal’s always been about helping people! And businesses!

Mal became a huge Blackhawks fan, so much so she named her dog “Sharpie”, representing her love for the game … and to recall his incredibly sharp puppy teeth. Mal also follows football (that’s American football) and plays in the fantasy league. Mal loves the atmosphere, food, and beverages at American sports games.

Stop by Park Ridge and meet Mal. She’s here to help. Which is what has always driven her!
