Thomas J. Meshako has taken over as Greenfield Savings Bank’s new president and CEO.

Meshako replaced John Howland, who resigned after leading Greenfield Savings Bank since 2015.

“I want to thank John Howland for his more than seven years as the head of the Bank,” Meshako said in a statement last month. “John’s leadership and direction throughout the unprecedented time of the pandemic and his dedicated and genuine commitment to the communities we serve solidified the Bank’s reputation as a community leader. We are grateful for his contributions to the Bank and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Meshako joined Greenfield Savings Bank in 2016 as treasurer and chief financial officer. He will continue in those roles until his replacement his hired, the statement said. Meshako has more than 40 years of experience in New England’s financial services industry, including at Brookline Bancorp and the former Merchants Bank in Vermont.

Greenfield Savings Bank has $1 billion in assets and 10 branches in Franklin and Hampshire counties.
