Penn Community Bank announced that president and CEO Jeane M. Vidoni was named one of the region’s most admired CEOs by the Philadelphia Business Journal.
“I am honored to be recognized by the area’s leading business publication and with such a diverse and accomplished group of leaders,” said Vidoni. “I truly believe in the power of community banking to help businesses and families thrive. Every day I’m proud to lead a dynamic, dedicated team focused on fulfilling Penn Community Bank’s long-term mission to act as a catalyst for growth in every community we serve.”
“The role of being a CEO requires planning, preparing for new challenges and always being ready for what’s next. Add a global pandemic into the mix and, well, things quickly change,” said Ryan Sharrow, editor in chief of the Philadelphia Business Journal. “The Philadelphia Business Journal’s Most Admired CEOs for 2020 are demonstrating the skills needed to lead their companies past the current hurdles and into the future.”
