Marianne McGoldrick joined Piermont Bank, a tech-enabled digital commercial bank headquartered in New York City, as chief credit officer.

McGoldrick will oversee Piermont Bank’s credit administration, including credit approval processes, loan policies and procedures, while ensuring the overall quality of the lending portfolio.

McGoldrick is a commercial banking executive with more than 30 years of industry experience. Her previous experiences include seven years with Sterling National Bank, where she served as a team leader, market credit director and deputy chief credit officer during her tenure. She also previously worked at HSBC Bank USA and The Bank of New York as a team leader in middle market banking.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to join Piermont, where innovation and speed underpin how it serves its clients, drives product development and technology advancements. It is also motivating to work with a group of talented professionals,” McGoldrick said. “I look forward to working closely with the team in developing creative credit products for small and medium-sized companies, and innovating our commercial credit and risk management platform.”

Established in 2019, Piermont Bank is women-founded and entrepreneur-led bank. In addition to the hiring of McGoldrick, the bank recently promoted Felix Leno to chief risk officer and appointed Rodrigo Suarez head of innovation. Additionally, Felicia Meaney joined the bank to oversee human resources.

“We are thrilled to have another highly accomplished executive like Marianne joining the Piermont Bank family,” Wendy Cai-Lee, founder and CEO of Piermont Bank, said. “At Piermont, we believe in the power of diversity and recognize how it adds great value to our strategic thinking. It also helps us to come up with creative solutions to better serve our small-and medium-sized businesses, which are full of diversity and innovative business models.”
