About our CEO:
Stephen Jaskelevicus is a lifelong resident of the Merrimack Valley. A Haverhill native, Steve earned his BA in Finance at Merrimack College before settling down in Haverhill with his wife Monica to raise their now adult sons, Stephen and Michael.
Steve has over thirty-five years of experience in the banking industry, with the past fifteen years spent at Pentucket Bank. While his experience is broad, his focus has always been on helping people and businesses in the Merrimack Valley thrive. As a long-time Commercial Lender, Steve has worked with countless businesses in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, from start-ups to some of the area’s largest employers. Steve’s steadfast commitment to his customers has made an incredible impact on the landscape of business throughout the region.
His passion extends to his volunteer roles as well. Steve currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Haverhill Foundation (First Vice President), The Griffin White Foundation (Treasurer), and as a volunteer fundraiser for Haverhill Senior Baseball. He has previously served on the Board for Fidelity House (now Waystone) and is a past member of the Haverhill Kiwanis Club, Haverhill Revolving Loan Fund, and Lawrence Partnership.
Inside the Bank, Steve - or Stevie J. as he is fondly known – is a true leader. His industry and institutional knowledge make him an incredible resource for the team, while his kind-hearted and even-keeled personality are perfectly representative of the stability and strength of the Bank that he leads.
Steve enjoys competitive sports, including baseball, basketball, and cycling. Steve is frequently spotted on weekends supporting local restaurants with Monica, though they also enjoy spending time at home with their expanding family.
