Gene McCarthy joined TriState Capital Bank as regional president in New Jersey. McCarthy will be responsible for the region’s overall performance and future strategic direction as well as developing and growing new and existing commercial markets. He will succeed Ken Orchard, who retired earlier this year.

“We are excited to add Gene’s leadership to our talented commercial banking team in New Jersey,” Brian Fetterolf, president and CEO of TriState Capital Bank, said. “His veteran experience and market knowledge make him the perfect fit for expanding our strong team, our support for our clients and our presence in the market, where we focus on providing customized commercial lending and treasury management solutions.”

McCarthy has more than 20 years of financial services experience and most recently was first senior vice president and market executive with FirstBank. Earlier in his career, McCarthy served in lead senior managing director roles and was also director of real estate and commercial banking at various institutions.

“I’m excited to join one of the fastest growing middle-market commercial banks in the country,” McCarthy said. “I’m eager to continue building relationships with current and potential clients as TriState Capital’s top-notch talent continues to provide creative solutions and outstanding customer service.”
