We are excited to welcome Paul Kohnen, President of Kay-Bee Electric, to the North/West Community Board! Our Community Board members serve as ambassadors for the bank, helping build strong community relationships and providing valuable local insight. We are excited to have Paul join this distinguished group of leaders!
Paul is the third-generation President of Kay-Bee Electric, a family-owned company that has served the St. Louis region since 1948. A graduate of Bradley University with a degree in engineering, he joined the company in 2014 and has played a key role in its ongoing success. He also serves on the board of the St. Louis Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), supporting the advancement of the electrical contracting industry throughout the region.
The Kohnen family has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with CNB St. Louis Bank since the Florissant branch opened in 1989, with family members serving on the bank’s Advisory Board for much of that time, including Paul’s father, Brian Kohnen. Paul’s connection to CNB began with a childhood savings account and has continued throughout his life and career—we are grateful he has stayed with us!
"Paul's connection to CNB St. Louis Bank spans generations, making his appointment especially meaningful. His leadership, strong community values, and dedication to service reflect the qualities we value in our Community Board members. We are honored to continue our relationship with the Kohnen family and look forward to the perspective and advocacy Paul will bring to the board,” said Annie Eck, VP Commercial Banking and Board Liaison.
Please join us in welcoming Paul to the CNB St. Louis Bank North/West Community Board! We look forward to the contributions he will make as we continue supporting the communities we proudly serve!
