**Dunmore, PA** – **February 5, 2026** – Daniel J. Santaniello, President and CEO of Fidelity Bank, is pleased to announce that Peter A. Gray has joined Fidelity Bank as Executive Vice President, Chief Lending Officer and Market President for the Lehigh Valley.

Gray brings more than two decades of executive leadership in community banking, lending, operational transformation, and client-focused strategy.

"Pete is a proven relationship-driven leader," said Santaniello. "His experience and client experience delivery align with Fidelity Bank's mission and long-term strategy. We are pleased to welcome him to the executive team."

In his new role, Gray will partner closely with executive leadership and frontline bankers to further strengthen Fidelity Bank's focus on managing all commercial lending activities to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements, strategic objectives, and established lending policies.
