Kelley Cwiklinski, C&N’s Chief Commercial Lending Officer, will retire after a 41-year career that made a lasting impact on the company, its customers, and the communities it serves.
Cwiklinski joined C&N on July 1, 2020, through the Covenant Bank merger as Senior Vice President, Director of Commercial Lending and was promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Lending Officer in February 2023. As a member of the executive leadership team, she has led C&N’s commercial lending strategy, including business planning, budgeting, growth initiatives, and the most recent acquisition of Susquehanna Community Bank, while championing a relationship‑focused approach that has strengthened portfolio growth and retention.
Throughout her tenure, Cwiklinski has built strong, lasting relationships with small family businesses and growing regional companies, providing her expertise and guidance through both opportunities and challenges. She has played a key role in developing C&N’s lending team by mentoring colleagues and helping to shape the next generation of leaders.
Cwiklinski has held numerous senior and executive leadership roles, including EVP & Chief Lending Officer and SVP & Regional Executive for Business Banking, as well as playing an integral role in the successful merger of Covenant Bank to C&N. She served on the board of the Pennsylvania Bankers Association’s Public Affairs Committee (PaBPAC) and Government Relations Policy Committee, as well as the Bucks County Historical Society.
“It has truly been an honor to serve this community and to be part of C&N for the past six years,” said Cwiklinski. “This team and the relationships I have built here mean everything to me, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together. I look forward to staying involved during this transition and cheering on the team in the years ahead.”
While stepping away from her day-to-day responsibilities, she will remain connected to C&N in an advisory capacity, supporting the transition and continuing to share her experience and insight.
As part of this planned transition, Greg Adamson, currently C&N’s Southeast Regional Commercial Lending Executive, will assume the role of Senior Vice President, Director of Commercial Lending. In this role, Adamson will continue to expand C&N’s commercial lending division through building strong relationships. Since joining C&N through the Covenant Bank merger, he has demonstrated strong leadership, deep market expertise, and a commitment to disciplined, relationship‑based banking.
Adamson has more than 27 years of experience in commercial banking and has served in various roles, including Commercial Lending Team Leader and Senior Vice President of Commercial Lending. He currently serves on the board of PaBPAC and the Bucks County Industrial Development Authority’s Loan Review Committee.
Adamson works out of C&N’s regional executive office in Doylestown and can be reached by phone at 267-327-4909 or e-mail at [email protected].
“We are deeply grateful for Kelley’s leadership and service to C&N and are confident she will lead a smooth transition over the coming months,” said C&N President and CEO Brad Scovill. “We wish her all the best as she moves into retirement and congratulate Greg as he takes on a broader leadership role with C&N.”
