Placing commercial banking, investment banking, and lending professionals at Pittsburgh's top financial institutions — from community banks to regional powerhouses.
Pittsburgh has one of the most storied banking histories of any city its size, and that legacy continues today with a mix of community banks, regional institutions, and large national bank footprints all competing for the same pool of experienced commercial and investment banking talent. The professionals who thrive in this environment — relationship managers who can grow a book, lenders with sector expertise, and bankers who understand Pittsburgh's industrial and healthcare economy — are not found through generic job boards.
Tony Priano specializes exclusively in financial services recruiting, which means he understands the difference between a community bank culture and a bulge-bracket environment, and he knows which candidates will fit where. Whether you're growing a commercial lending team, replacing a key relationship manager, or conducting a quiet executive search, Priano Solutions brings a Pittsburgh-native network built over years in the local financial services market.
The most valuable banking professionals are the ones who've spent years building client relationships in the Pittsburgh market. Tony has direct access to experienced relationship managers and commercial bankers who aren't actively looking — the ones your competitors wish they could find. Every search targets the passive candidate pool first.
Banking is hyper-local. Tony understands which institutions have strong cultures, which are growing, and which professionals are quietly open to a move. That market intelligence means you're not starting from scratch — you're getting a curated list of candidates who already understand Pittsburgh's commercial and business banking landscape.
Replacing a market president or senior VP requires absolute discretion. Priano Solutions conducts senior banking searches confidentially, approaching candidates on a one-to-one basis rather than posting publicly. Your institution's reputation stays intact, and serious candidates can engage without risking their current position.
