Bay State Savings Bank has appointed Anthony Pasquale to chief commercial banking officer, a newly created position for the Worcester-based bank.
In his new role, Pasquale will oversee Bay State’s strategic growth while strengthening community relationships and heading the creation and implementation of commercial banking products and services, according to a Tuesday press release from Bay State.
“Anthony’s local roots, unparalleled experience, and proven track record in growing and scaling lines of commercial business make him the ideal person for this role,” Seth Pitts, president and CEO of Bay State, said in the press release. “Additionally, with favorable conditions ahead, we are pleased to have Anthony, another highly experienced executive with an extensive large-bank background, give back locally and lead our commercial banking team. His vision and leadership will strengthen our position as a great local bank and propel us towards a bright future together with our communities.”
With more than 25 years of commercial banking experience, Pasquale joins Bay State having most recently served as the regional vice president of New Jersey-based TD Bank.
Pasquale’s hiring comes as the bank announced its long-term Chief Community Engagement Officer Diane Giampa will retire on Dec. 31.
“It’s an honor to join such a talented team of community bankers and a great local bank that has been rooted in community since 1895,” Pasquale said in the release. “I’m excited to build and expand Bay State’s diverse portfolio of commercial solutions and strong history of great client experiences to further support our local communities, businesses, and nonprofits in achieving their goals and dreams.”
