Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Provident Bank

Established in 1828, The Provident Bank is an independent, mutually-owned, full-service community bank with a focus in commercial lending and business services with offices in Amesbury and Newburyport, Massachusetts, and Exeter, Hampton, Portsmouth and Seabrook, New Hampshire. Additional lending offices are in Bedford and Nashua, New Hampshire. The Bank is dedicated to the goal of being the highest-performing bank, providing excellence in service to our customers, our communities and our employees. All deposits are insured in full through a combination of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF).

As Chief Financial Officer, I provide direction and leadership to drive the financial success of The Provident Bank. Innovation and agility are crucial to the growth and strength of the Bank, so I challenge and inspire my people to seek out opportunities to increase efficiency, reduce redundancy and embody a continuous-improvement and risk-intelligent mindset. And it shows. Our numbers speak for themselves.
