Ms. Vitelli will also focus on expanding and retaining Beacon Trust’s customer base, developing innovative wealth management products and services, and attracting, developing, and retaining top talent to support long-term growth. Ms. Vitelli will report directly to Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Provident Bank, and will serve as a member of the bank’s Executive Leadership Team. “Since joining Beacon Trust last year, Anna has made a significant impact on our organization through her vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer outcomes,” said Mr. Labozzetta. “She brings extensive experience in wealth management, a proven ability to drive strategic growth, and a collaborative leadership style that aligns perfectly with our culture.

Prior to joining Beacon Trust, she served as Executive Vice President and Head of Hawthorn at PNC Private Bank, where she led the ultra- high-net-worth business segment and oversaw a team of more than 200 professionals. Earlier in her career, she held senior leadership positions in wealth strategy and customer experience at PNC and served in senior wealth management and trust roles at Vanguard and The Private Family Office. She also practiced as an estates and tax attorney. “I am honored to assume this role and grateful for the confidence Tony and the Board have placed in me,” said Ms. Vitelli. “Beacon Trust has a strong reputation for delivering personalized advice, an exceptional experience, and long-term value to customers. I look forward to working with our talented teams across Provident Bank and Provident Protection Plus to build upon our momentum, deepen customer relationships, and accelerate growth across our wealth management business.” Ms. Vitelli holds a J.D. and an LL.M. in Taxation, both earned cum laude from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. ### About Beacon Trust Based in Morristown, New Jersey, Beacon Trust is a full-service wealth management firm, which together with Beacon Investment Advisory Services, Inc., has approximately $4 billion in assets under administration and decades of proven success, superior solutions and exceptional client service.
