Chief Executive Officer

Why Shawmut?
100% the culture. Right from the first time I walked into Shawmut, I knew that the high-energy, client-focused culture matched how I worked and what I wanted to do in my career. It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to lead it today, to improve it, to care for our people, and to care for our communities.

Beyond Shawmut
I am an avid cyclist and skier and live in Manhattan with my wife and son. We love the culture of Manhattan and have a love for Broadway shows and travel.

Fun Fact
I love high-speed activities like biking and skiing. I once went 77 MPH on skis and over 50 MPH on my road bike!
