Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and Peapack Private Bank & Trust have appointed Mark Zingale as Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. Zingale will oversee all legal, regulatory and governance matters for the bank and its subsidiaries, supporting strategic growth and strong risk management initiatives.
The appointment signals Peapack Private's commitment to strengthening its regulatory compliance framework as financial institutions face increasing scrutiny. Zingale brings more than two decades of experience advising financial institutions and regulated companies on complex legal and regulatory issues, most recently serving as Senior Regulatory Counsel at Revolut. In that role, he advised senior leadership on bank and bank-holding-company regulations, supervisory matters, and strategic initiatives across a global digital-banking platform.
"Mark's deep experience across banking regulation, corporate governance and strategic legal advisory will be an invaluable asset to Peapack Private Bank & Trust," said Doug Kennedy, President & CEO. "His background advising large, complex financial institutions and his practical, business-focused approach align well with our client-first culture and long-term growth objectives."
Zingale's career includes senior legal roles at BNY, Wells Fargo, Citizens Financial Group, and the Bank Policy Institute, as well as serving as General Counsel of a publicly traded technology company. Earlier in his career, he practiced law at leading firms including Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Latham & Watkins, advising clients on banking, securities, mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance matters.
The appointment comes as Peapack Private continues to expand its wealth management and banking services. The bank holding company reported total assets of $7.4 billion and assets under management and/or administration of $12.9 billion as of September 30, 2025. Peapack Private Bank & Trust offers comprehensive financial, tax, fiduciary and investment advice and solutions to individuals, families, privately held businesses, family offices, and not-for-profit organizations through its wealth management division.
Zingale's regulatory expertise from both traditional banking institutions and fintech platforms like Revolut positions him to navigate the evolving financial landscape where digital transformation and regulatory compliance intersect. His experience at Revolut, a global digital banking platform, provides insight into emerging technologies and regulatory approaches that could inform Peapack Private's strategic initiatives.
The Chief Legal Officer role has become increasingly critical for financial institutions as regulatory requirements expand and enforcement actions intensify. Zingale's appointment reflects the growing importance of legal and regulatory leadership in supporting sustainable growth while maintaining compliance. His background across multiple financial sectors and regulatory environments provides Peapack Private with broad perspective on risk management and governance best practices.
