Ambler's McKenna Promoted to SVP
First Federal of Bucks County, a federally chartered mutual savings bank serving businesses and individuals in Bucks County, as well as Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties, announced today that Georgann Berger McKenna has been promoted from senior vice president – human resources to senior vice president – sales and administration.

Jeane M. Coyle, the bank’s new president and CEO and first female leader, announced the promotion as part of her restructuring plan.

McKenna, of Ambler, PA, who was senior vice president of human resources, takes on an expanded role in charge of sales and administration. She will oversee the most team members and the front-line functions that touch the most customers – consumer lending, mortgage lending, branch banking, the customer care center and human resources. Her focus will be on leveraging First Federal of Bucks County’s skills to differentiate its service and create revenue generating opportunities for the bank.

After working in human resources and training in positions of increasing responsibility at various banks for two decades, McKenna became vice president and human resources director for a national real estate investment and development company with more than 300 employees in 2004. She then returned to banking when she joined First Federal of Bucks County in 2010. McKenna earned a master’s in business education from Oklahoma State University and serves on the boards of Foulkeways at Gwynedd and Central Montgomery Technical High School (Perkins Committee).

“As a human resources professional, Georgann has been a true business partner to other bank CEOs in the past, as well as numerous business unit managers as they seek to grow,” said Coyle. “I look forward to working with her in this new and expanding role.”

Coyle is positioning the bank to continue to provide convenience and value for the bank’s business and individual customers, to maintain profitability for long-term growth and sustainability as a local bank and employer, and to give back to the community.
