Leominster-based Fidelity Bank has promoted Deborah Sendrowski and Brad Kirlin to C-suite roles in its human resources and technology departments.
Sendrowski has assumed her new role as executive vice president, chief human resources officer and will serve on the bank’s executive committee. Sendrowski will continue supervising all HR functions, especially in talent strategy, colleague engagement approach, programs, and services.
Since joining Fidelity in 2013, the bank has ranked among The Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work list five times under Sendrowski’s leadership, in part due to her role in developing HR strategies and initiatives resulting in bolstered colleague engagement, talent development, and the overall employee experience, according to a Thursday press release from Fidelity.
"Dee’s promotion is a testament to her exceptional contributions and unwavering commitment to our organization as well as Fidelity Bank’s LifeDesign promise of providing care, clarity and confidence to help colleagues get where they want to be," Ed Manzi, Fidelity chairman and CEO, said in the release. "Dee and the HR team deliver innovative approaches to talent management and learning and development, while fostering a positive and engaging workplace culture.”
Sendrowski earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Fitchburg State University.
Kirlin has assumed his new role of executive vice president, chief technology officer and will also serve on the bank’s executive committee. In this position, Kirlin manages information and data security, governance and policy, budget management, technical engineering, and business support.

“Brad is an invaluable asset to Fidelity Bank, providing essential support as the Bank strives to remain at the forefront of banking and finance technology,” Manzi said in the release. “His expertise and leadership in technology, when combined with delivering on the Bank’s LifeDesign promise of providing care, clarity and confidence, will foster a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration among colleagues and clients alike.”
Prior to his work in the private sector, Kirlin developed technology skills providing network administrator services while serving in the U.S. Navy. Since 2001, he has served in leadership positions for financial institutions throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic, managing data security risks, patch management, and responding to intrusions and breaches.
Founded in 1888, Fidelity operates 13 banking centers throughout Central and Eastern Massachusetts, accumulating $1.5 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2023, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
