Kearny Bank has announced the formation of a new, veteran corporate banking team specifically designed to enhance service offerings for the region’s mid-sized businesses.
The initiative marks a strategic shift for the Fairfield-based financial institution, aiming to provide hands-on support for growing companies that have outgrown traditional branch banking but still require a personalized, relationship-driven approach.
The new group is led by Tom Woroniecki, who joins Kearny Bank as Senior Vice President and Director of Corporate Banking. The team consists of six dedicated professionals, each serving as Vice President and Corporate Banking Officer:
- Glen Corson (Oakhurst)
- Antonio DiPasquale (Fairfield)
- Justin Gusmano (Fairfield)
- Devon McClellan (Staten Island)
- Karla Pichardo (Fairfield)
“Tom and his team represent an important step forward in how we serve business clients,” Anthony Bilotta, executive vice president and chief banking officer said. “Their experience and ability to work closely with clients allow us to address more complex needs while staying as responsive as ever.”
The team is specifically focused on businesses generating approximately $5 million in annual revenue. According to the bank, the goal is to bridge the gap between digital banking efficiency and high-touch advisory support.
The bankers will perform comprehensive reviews of each client’s existing relationships—evaluating deposit accounts, lending requirements, and treasury management services—to identify opportunities for increased efficiency.
“Our role as a team is to ensure that each client’s banking relationship truly works for them,” Woroniecki said. “If there are opportunities to improve how things are set up, we’ll identify them and be transparent in our recommendations.”
The team has been assembled over the past several months and is expected to continue its expansion as demand grows for specialized corporate financial solutions. By combining Kearny Bank’s digital infrastructure with direct, expert support, the team aims to provide a seamless banking experience that allows business owners to focus on their day-to-day operations.
