Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and Peapack Private Bank & Trust have appointed Mark Zingale as Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. Zingale will oversee all legal, regulatory, and governance matters for the bank and its subsidiaries, supporting strategic growth and strong risk management.
Zingale brings over two decades of experience advising financial institutions and regulated companies on complex legal and regulatory issues. He joins from Revolut, where he served as Senior Regulatory Counsel, advising senior leadership on bank and bank-holding-company regulations, supervisory matters, and strategic initiatives across a global digital-banking platform. His previous roles include senior legal positions at BNY, Wells Fargo, Citizens Financial Group, and the Bank Policy Institute, as well as serving as General Counsel of a publicly traded technology company.
"Mark's deep experience across banking regulation, corporate governance and strategic legal advisory will be an invaluable asset to Peapack Private Bank & Trust," said Doug Kennedy, President & CEO. "His background advising large, complex financial institutions and his practical, business-focused approach align well with our client-first culture and long-term growth objectives."
Earlier in his career, Zingale practiced law at leading firms including Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Latham & Watkins, advising clients on banking, securities, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate finance matters. He is a graduate of Columbia Law School, where he served as an editor of the law review, and Yale University.
For business and technology leaders, this appointment signals Peapack Private's commitment to navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape while pursuing growth. Zingale's experience at Revolut, a global digital banking platform, provides valuable insight into fintech regulation and digital transformation in banking. His background at traditional institutions like Wells Fargo and BNY offers balanced perspective on both established and emerging financial models.
The move comes as financial institutions face heightened regulatory scrutiny and evolving compliance requirements. Zingale's appointment may strengthen Peapack Private's ability to manage regulatory risks while expanding services. His experience could help the bank better serve clients in wealth management, investment banking, and commercial banking through improved governance and compliance frameworks.
