Patricia Husic
Board Member and consultant/special advisor
First Commonwealth Bank
Husic is the former co-founder, president and CEO of Centric Financial Corporation and Centric Bank. She served in the position for 16 years and oversaw the company’s merger with First Commonwealth Financial Corporation in January.
As a co-founder of a financial institution, she says her responsibility to its shareholders, team members, and customers is deeply personal. “These colleagues and customers are like family,” she says.
“In a year of merger and acquisition talks {with First Commonwealth Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, First Commonwealth Bank} imagining what a new future would look like can be very emotional. Navigating that journey and balancing the professional and personal realities of change was a grand test, but it also affirmed that our vision and vitality will remain a pillar for our customers and communities,” Husic says.
