PNC Bank named the leadership team for its expanded market presence in the Kansas City region. Dale Klose will serve as the regional president, Terry D’Amore as head of Corporate Banking and Kim Herman as director of Client and Community Relations, effective immediately.

PNC currently employs more than 600 professionals in its Midland Loan Services unit based in Overland Park, KS.

“The Kansas City metro area continues to be a bright spot for job growth. There is significant opportunity for PNC to support that growth with the delivery of corporate banking services,” said Lou Cestello, head of PNC Regional Markets. “Through our Midland Loan Services group we are already proud to call Kansas City home. Expanding our efforts to provide Main Street banking and financial solutions is a natural extension of our presence in the region.”

“Additionally, as we bring our locally-focused regional president business model to Kansas City, we look forward to further building on the philanthropic commitment to the community that our Midland team has in place,” Cestello added.

Klose brings more than 30 years of banking experience to his role as regional president. During his career, Klose has taken on senior management responsibilities for a number of areas including national sales, large corporate, specialized industries, treasury management, international and retail banking. Most recently, he served as chief operating officer for PNC’s Office of the Regional Presidents, a position where he led a range of strategic initiatives.

D’Amore leads PNC’s efforts to provide solutions to large and middle market. A 25-year veteran of PNC and a resident of the greater Kansas City region, D’Amore adds extensive experience as a Treasury Management professional. Prior to assuming his new role, D’Amore was a national sales manager overseeing PNC teams with expertise in healthcare payment, as well as financing solutions for energy companies and financial institutions.

D’Amore previously served as CEO of Whitebridge Financial in Ohio and as president of Card Services at UMB Bank in Kansas City.

Herman will lead local philanthropic and community relations initiatives as the director of client and community relations.
