First Bank Names Leaders of North Jersey HQ

On Mar 28, 2023

First Bank announced today that Anthony DeSenzo, first senior vice president and market executive, will serve as senior leader of the bank’s new Fairfield location, which will operate as First Bank’s Northern New Jersey headquarters.

DeSenzo, who successfully served the business community in Fairfield and Essex counties for many years, will lead an experienced team of community banking professionals in the new location. Joining DeSenzo is David Roskowsky, vice president and Fairfield branch manager, and Stephen Bohmert, vice president of business development. Bohmert and Roskowsky have been tasked with growing First Bank’s market share and expanding the bank’s brand in this exciting new market.

The new location, which will open its doors on April 3rd, will bring the bank’s unique, next-level approach to community banking to the region.

“At First Bank, we focus on our customers and make everything else revolve around them,” said First Bank President and CEO Patrick L. Ryan. “We’ve created a banking experience where our customers have access to decision-makers, a place where our team members have real authority to help. As a result, we listen carefully, ask smart questions and deliver solutions—not products. That’s the foundation for a true community bank.”

While the community bank is very focused on all types of commercial lending and especially small & mid-size business lending, it has recently added resources for private equity groups and their portfolio companies to cover the full life cycle. More recently, the bank has introduced a new specialty financing group that offers asset-based lending, which helps business owners and entrepreneurs turn illiquid assets into more capital.
