Bank President Tom Meshako To Retire

Greenfield, MA (September 18, 2025) — Greenfield Savings Bank today announced that President and CEO Tom Meshako will retire in early 2026, concluding a distinguished career in banking leadership that has helped shape a decade of growth for the institution.

 

Meshako joined Greenfield Savings Bank in 2016 as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer and was appointed CEO in 2022. Under his stewardship, the bank has experienced significant growth, expanding its assets from $1 billion to $1.4 billion and deepening its commitment to the communities it serves.

 

Among his notable accomplishments is the acquisition and restoration of the historic Leavitt-Hovey House in Greenfield, which will soon house the bank’s Residential Lending and Wealth Management & Trust departments. Additionally, the bank will open a new southern headquarters in Easthampton, further extending its regional footprint.

“Tom’s leadership has been transformative,” said Board Chair Pamela Stobierski. “He has guided the bank with integrity, vision, and a deep sense of purpose. His legacy will be felt for years to come.”

 

During his tenure, Greenfield Savings Bank doubled its charitable contributions to over $1 million, supporting more than 300 organizations across the region. He also led the evolution of the bank’s core values, adding “Communication” to its longstanding pillars of “Care,” “Connection,” and “Community.”

Meshako earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bentley University in 1982. A longtime resident of Greenfield, he lives with his wife, Mary Ann, and is the proud father of three adult daughters. Upon retirement, he looks forward to spending more time with his family.

“It has been the honor of my life to serve this bank and this community,” said Meshako. “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary people who care deeply about our customers and our mission. As I prepare for this next chapter, I do so with immense pride in what we’ve built together.”

Greenfield Savings Bank will initiate a succession planning process in the coming months, ensuring a smooth transition and continued momentum. Meshako leaves behind a strong senior management team and an experienced, diversified board of directors.
