Thomas J. Sposito II will assume expanded leadership responsibility for Traditions Bank in the newly created role of chief banking officer.
Sposito joined Traditions Bank’s executive management team in June 2020 as strategic revenue officer. He has led the bank’s eastward commercial banking growth into Lancaster County in Pennsylvania and is additionally focused on expansion to the north in Pennsylvania’s capital region. In the role of chief banking officer, he will serve as the bank’s leader for revenue generation, enterprise-wide profitability and balance sheet growth for all regions. Exclusive of its Traditions Mortgage division, all income-generating divisions of the bank will report to Sposito, including commercial, personal and private banking lines, as well as wealth management, treasury management and Her Traditions.
“Tom is a highly-experienced executive who combines a vast banking background, passion for our culture and deeply-rooted leadership in southcentral PA,” Eugene Draganosky, president and CEO of Traditions Bank, said. “In his short time with Traditions Bank, Tom has already created long-lasting impact. This expanded role will assure that all sales areas are aligned with the strategic direction of the bank.”
Sposito’s 36-year banking career in southcentral Pennsylvania has included leadership positions with Sterling Financial, PNC, Integrity and S&T. He has held multiple leadership roles, including president and CEO.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the ongoing development of this organization. I love the team, the culture and the forward focus of the company,” Sposito said. “Continued growth allows us to offer our true community banking services to more and more new clients, expand our relationship with existing clients and further support the communities we serve.”
Sposito resides in Manheim, PA, and is immediate past board chair of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber of Commerce. Sposito co-chaired the chamber’s executive search committee, resulting in the hiring of the new chamber president and CEO. He is an advisory board member of the Campaign for a Greater Penn State and was recently appointed to the government relations policy board of the Pennsylvania Bankers Association.
