"We will primarily serve customers in the tri-state New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania area where the bank maintains a physical presence," Group Head of Asset-Based Lending David Viggiano said in the release.
The team will be led by Viggiano, who most recently worked as a senior vice president managing an asset-based lending and leasing group at GE Capital, and by Joseph DeVito, who was named senior vice president and director of business development.
