Greater Hudson Bank added DeWayne Haygood as vice president, commercial relationship manager. Haygood has more than 17 years of experience in sourcing commercial loans and working with commercial clients. As a commercial relationship manager at Greater Hudson Bank, he will support the Orange County team in winning new business and providing exceptional service to existing clients.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome DeWayne Haygood to Greater Hudson Bank,” said Damiane Doyle, senior managing director for the Orange County market. “His extensive experience in Hudson Valley-based commercial lending makes him uniquely qualified for this position and will be a valuable asset for the bank in its mission to provide clients with exceptional service.”

Haygood joins Greater Hudson Bank on the heels of his most recent stop at Jeff Bank, where he actively developed and managed the growth of the commercial loan portfolio and deposit base within the greater Orange and Pike County markets. Prior to Jeff Bank, Haygood spent time at Orange County Trust and Catskill Hudson Bank, as well as the U.S. Air Force, where he was responsible for providing supervision and leadership to military personnel in the Financial Analysis Office.
