Hoboken Banker Named To ‘Forty Under 40’ List

HOBOKEN, NJ — A Hoboken resident with several ties to Hudson County has been named one of NJBIZ’s “Forty Under 40” for 2019, his employer recently announced.

Earlier this month, Ryan Peene, 36, a senior vice president of corporate development and government banking at SB One Bank, was named to the annual list, which recognizes people for making contributions to the local banking sector and community at large.

Peene was one of 40 winners this year, SB One Bank stated. See the full list at NJBIZ.

“It is an absolute honor to be recognized by the Garden State business community,” Peene said.

According to SB One Bank:

“Mr. Peene has been with the bank since 2015. In his role, he is largely responsible for devising and implementing growth strategies for all business lines throughout the bank’s regional footprint, overseeing SB One Bank’s government deposit portfolio, and leading the charge for the institution’s community development efforts. In that time the bank has experienced exponential growth.

“Mr. Peene earned a master’s degree in nonprofit business administration from the University of Notre Dame - Mendoza College of Business in 2010 and his undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, where he was an Eagleton Institute of Politics Undergraduate Associate, in 2005. He is also a graduate of the Wharton-UPenn ABA Stonier School of Banking.

“He served as commissioner on the City of Hoboken Planning Board since 2015 and as Vice Chairman since 2017. He was a member of the New Jersey Council on Local Mandates from 2007-2012. Mr. Peene is an honorary member of the Hudson County Chiefs of Police Association and currently serves on the Rutgers Business School Center for Real Estate Emerging Leaders board.”

Anthony Labozzetta, president and CEO of SB One Bank, said Peene has made a tremendous impact on New Jersey and at the bank.

“His ability to combine business smarts with civic-mindedness has made all the difference for our organization, and truly sets him apart,” Labozzetta stated. “He is wise beyond his years and is a true leader. We are so proud of Ryan and we applaud NJBIZ for recognizing him.”
