Provident Bank said Robert Orzechowski has joined the company as first vice president, senior relationship manager on the asset-based lending team.
In this role, he will be responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and developing business opportunities while supporting existing clients across the ABL portfolio, with a focus on serving clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, with emphasis on southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding areas.
Orzechowski has more than 25 years of ABL experience, providing debt-capital solutions to both privately held and sponsor-backed businesses. He will oversee sourcing, loan structuring, financial analysis, and portfolio management for ABL clients. Orzechowski will play a key role in assessing creditworthiness, managing risk, and ensuring compliance with bank policies. He will also work with clients to understand their capital needs, strengthen relationships, and deliver tailored financing solutions across a range of industries.
“I’ve always believed that lasting client relationships start with understanding each business’s unique challenges and goals,” said Orzechowski. “I look forward to delivering tailored, creative solutions and being a trusted resource as our clients grow and evolve.”
Prior to joining Provident Bank, Orzechowski served in various senior roles at PNC, most recently as senior vice president, where he was responsible for business development and client coverage across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Kenneth Kaestner, Provident Bank senior vice president and ABL group head, cited Orzechowski’s experience in the Mid-Atlantic region as a plus for Provident. “He is an industry veteran in the eastern Pennsylvania market. His long track record of success in this region will help accelerate the ABL team’s growth and broaden our geographic reach. Robert’s deep expertise and proven ability to structure flexible, client-focused lending solutions will be a tremendous benefit to our ABL clients.”
Iselin-based Provident Bank, 185 years old, has 133 offices in New Jersey.
