Huntingdon Valley Bank Names President and CEO

April 19, 2010 -- Huntingdon Valley Bank, a leader in community banking in Bucks and Montgomery counties, has named Kevin J. Gallagher as President and CEO.

Gallagher, a resident of North Wales, brings 32 years of broad-based leadership experience in commercial, real estate and consumer lending to Huntingdon Valley Bank. His most recent position was executive vice president and chief lending officer with Allegiance Bank in Bala Cynwyd, Pa.

 “I was drawn to Huntingdon Valley Bank because of its direct community focus and long term history,” said Gallagher. “This bank has always remained true to the community concept and I found this very appealing.”

 Gallagher will be involved in the bank’s day-to-day decisions and looks forward to interactions with customers, finding ways to meet their distinct needs. “At Huntingdon Valley Bank customers have the unique ability to sit down, not only with the lending representative, but with the President /CEO to discuss their borrowing or banking needs.  This is true personalized service – an opportunity that simply does not exist with big banks,” said Gallagher.

 Gallagher is committed to creating a better blend of offerings, and he looks forward to balancing the bank’s established strength in residential lending with more products and services for small- and medium-sized businesses.

 Huntingdon Valley Bank’s team of employees impressed Gallagher early, and affirmed his belief in the bank’s potential.  “The employees of Huntingdon Valley Bank are what make this organization successful,” Gallagher said. “They are experienced and committed individuals with a firm understanding of the bank’s mission. These are the ideal ingredients which allow an established organization to move forward.”

 A graduate of Temple University, Gallagher is active in many community and professional organizations, including theater and the arts. He believes that support for the local theater organizations is one of the keys that allow young members of our communities to continue to develop into well rounded future business leaders.

He is married with three children and has been an active member of the community since 1985.
