First National Bank, the largest subsidiary of F.N.B., hired Alfred D. Cho as chief consumer banking officer, succeeding Barry Robinson upon his retirement.
Responsible for driving the consumer banking experience, Cho will oversee retail sales and distribution, small business banking, mortgage services, consumer banking solutions and consumer product development.
Cho will report to Vincent J. Delie, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of F.N.B. and First National Bank. He brings to FNB more than 25 years of strategic consulting, investment banking and financial institutions group experience earned at various financial institutions, including J.P. Morgan, Bank of America and Truist.
“Alfred’s diverse experience and uniquely strategic mindset further augment the capabilities of a very experienced retail banking team,” Delie said. “The combination of our convenient physical network and industry-leading digital suite, led by eStore, provides an exceptional launchpad for continued success.”
“During his 15 years of FNB service, Barry Robinson has been instrumental in both our growth and ability to serve our stakeholders through unprecedented external challenges,” Delie said. “He earned the trust of employees and clients alike and we wish him the very best in retirement.”
“Having partnered with the FNB leadership team in an advisory capacity for many years, I have gained a strong appreciation for their talent, culture and vision,” Cho, who has worked closely with FNB throughout his career, said. “I am honored to now join the management team and look forward to continuing this journey together in driving the bank’s growth and success.”
Cho followed his undergraduate education at the University of Michigan with a master of business administration with high distinction from the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. He and his wife are deeply involved in their community, serving on local boards, coaching their children’s youth sports teams and supporting school leadership activities. They look forward to continuing these commitments and building new connections with their relocation to Pittsburgh.
