Originally uploaded on August 23rd, Chris Holman speaks with Don Heberle, Executive Vice President, PNC, Head of PNC Private Bank, Greater Pittsburgh Region.

Their discussion covers the new PNC Private Bank, expanding into an international business, and accelerating investment in talent and capabilities are three priorities at the top of Don Heberle’s mind.

As head of PNC’s personal wealth offering, Don has spent the past year helping clients navigate the volatility brought on by the pandemic.

In the first half of 2021, the business has outpaced industry benchmarks in the categories of loan growth, revenue growth, and deposit growth, all while navigating through the COVID pandemic.

The strategy for the second half of the year and beyond is to build upon that growth as demonstrated through the launch of a new personal wealth brand, bolstered by increased investment in the business and the expansion of the business – across the wealth spectrum – to a coast-to-coast local delivery model.

In Don’s words, “we’re combining what clients like about regional banks – local presence, service model and community support – with the size, scale, and resources of a top-five national bank. No one else does this.”
