First Commonwealth Announces Leadership Promotions as Part of Succession Plan
INDIANA, PA (April 1, 2026) ― First Commonwealth Bank has promoted a long-time senior leader to a new executive role overseeing the bank’s regional banking model.
Matt Zuro, currently Regional President of First Commonwealth’s Northern Ohio Region, has been promoted to Executive Vice President for Regional Banking, effective April 1, and will focus on growth through the Bank’s regional banking structure implemented this past October.
In his new role, Zuro will lead the growth of deposits, loans and fee-income initiatives through First Commonwealth’s mission-driven culture across the organization and will be a member of the bank’s Executive Leadership Team. The Bank’s five Regional Presidents and their retail and commercial business lines will be aligned in Zuro’s area.
Accordingly, Mike McCuen, who joined First Commonwealth in 2023 and assumed his new role as Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer last October, will assume additional leadership responsibilities with the Bank’s other revenue lines of business aligned in his area, including Wealth Management, Insurance, Mortgage, Indirect Auto, Treasury Management and Sponsor Finance. In addition, Retail Support, Community Impact and Product Management will also report to McCuen for effective focus on scaling the bank, protecting margins and improving processes.
“As we continue to be laser-focused on scaling our organizational capacity to drive regional growth, I am pleased to announce Matt’s promotion that will create meaningful long-term impact aligning this model,” said Mike Price, First Commonwealth CEO. “Matt is a leader that cares deeply for our customers, our talented people and our communities. He has served First Commonwealth for 17 years and is familiar with several of our regions and will be terrific in this new leadership role.
“Mike has successfully led a number of significant initiatives in the Corporate Bank, including leading the evolution of the regional model,” Price added. “These changes and division of leadership between Mike and Matt better enable the two critical objectives of scaling our bank and growing regionally. I have full confidence in their abilities and leadership to grow and to innovate with their partners across the organization.”
