Berkshire Bank added Maryann Lewis as senior vice president, commercial regional leader for the Mid-Atlantic region covering both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Lewis brings nearly 20 years of industry experience. Her business focus has been in leading and developing commercial and industrial loan teams as well as executing strategic initiatives designed to drive continued revenue growth.

Lewis will supervise team leaders, relationship managers, portfolio managers and administrative support personnel in the Mid-Atlantic region to achieve desired sales and profitability goals through the generation of new business, in addition to the retention and growth of an existing portfolio. This will extend to the development of a strong regional sales process, including calling programs focused on existing and prospective customers as well as well-established centers of influence.

“Lewis will be essential in developing the bank’s initiatives in cultivating growth and retention through a cohesive sales and relationship strategy throughout the bank’s new market,” stated Mike D. Carroll, EVP, Commercial Lending. “We are excited to onboard such an experienced professional to support Berkshire Bank’s commitment to a customer focused approach.”
