President of Nierenberg Investment Management Company (NIMCO), has

in your company, you need to seize that opportunity,” said Pat
Sheaffer, chairman and CEO of Riverview Bancorp. “The depth of his
understanding of the banking industry, finance, corporate strategy
and governance cannot be overstated. As a community focused
financial institution, we are excited to benefit from David’s
counsel and vision as we continue our mission of growing our
franchise, and serving our clients, service partners and
shareholders.”
“As a believer in what true community banking means to our
community and our country, I’m looking forward to working with the
board to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Bank’s
efforts,” said Nierenberg. “As a local resident, I’ve watched
Riverview grow as a Bank and become a valued corporate citizen. I’m
pleased to assist in developing strategies to expand its potential
value for all stakeholders.”
From 1978 – 1985, David worked at Bain & Company in San
Francisco, Boston, and London, where he was a partner. He focused
on strategy, acquisition, and cost reduction projects for CEO
clients. He managed Bain's Western U.S. healthcare and banking
practices.
Mr. Nierenberg received his B.A. with Distinction in History,
summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Yale College in 1975, and his
J.D. from Yale Law School in 1978. He is a retired member of the
Massachusetts Bar and has served on dozens of public, private and
not-for-profit boards during the past three decades.
Mr. Nierenberg currently serves as a director of Rosetta Stone
(RST), Kuni Automotive, Inc., and Whitman College. Until recently,
David also served on the boards of D3 portfolio companies Electro
