S&T Bank, which entered the Eastern Pennsylvania market in 2019 when it acquired DNB First, has appointed Christopher J. McComish as its new CEO, effective Aug. 23.

McComish previously served as senior executive vice president of consumer banking at TCF Bank. He succeeds David G. Antolik, who has served as interim CEO and president of S&T since April 2021.

Antolik will continue as president of S&T and as a member of S&T’s board of directors, positions he has held since January 2019.

“Following a comprehensive search process that considered internal and external candidates, the board concluded that Chris is the right leader for S&T,” said Christine Toretti, the chair of S&T’s board of directors. “We are very excited for Chris to join S&T as chief executive officer and are confident that Chris will be an excellent fit at S&T. We are delighted to welcome an experienced banker like Chris to S&T and thrilled that he will lead our company in its next era.”

Toretti thanked Antolik for his significant contributions during the transition period.

“David strengthened the foundation for the continued growth of S&T under Chris’s leadership,” she said.

Headquartered in Indiana, Pa., S&T Bank has $9.3 billion in assets and operates in five markets, including Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Pennsylvania, Northeast Ohio, Central Ohio, and Upstate New York.

“It is a great privilege for me to join S&T as CEO during a time that holds great opportunity for growth,” said McComish. “I look forward to working closely with David and S&T’s excellent leadership team, board, and employees who are all dedicated to delivering for our customers, communities, and shareholders.”

McComish has more than 30 years of financial service experience, providing executive leadership to consumer banking, commercial banking, and wealth management businesses. He has a strong track record of driving growth and transformation while enhancing both digital and human customer engagement.

Prior to his tenure at TCF Bank, McComish, who earned a bachelor’s degree in international economics from Ohio Wesleyan University, served as president and CEO of Scottrade Bank. He also served as the head of personal banking and then as chief operating officer for personal and commercial banking at BMO Harris Bank. He began his career at Wachovia Bank, having spent 20-plus in various regional and line-of-business leadership roles.
