Experienced commercial lender joins Hyperion Bank in Philadelphia

Hyperion Bank has named Jennifer Gardella Vice President, Commercial Lending, based out of its Philadelphia banking office in Northern Liberties. Gardella has community banking experience across the region, working historically within the many neighborhoods of the city, through the western and northern suburbs, and to the New Jersey shore communities.

“Jenn has a familiarity with both the broad range of customers we serve and the many services we tailor to them, from local construction projects and long-term commercial investment rental properties to SBA lending and beyond,” says Lou DeCesare, Hyperion President & COO, “and she has a natural inclination toward the excellent service experience that’s the foundation of the relationships we build with Hyperion customers and business partners.”

Prior to joining Team Hyperion, Gardella served in various roles for area banks, including Vice President Business Development, Commercial Lender and Branch Team Leader. Prior to her banking career, Jenn spent over 20 years managing and leading sales teams with both national and boutique retailers.

“I enjoy working within the community I live and play in, and it is especially satisfying to be a small part of the growth and revival of so many Philadelphia neighborhoods through past and current financing projects,” Gardella says.

The South Jersey native (Barrington) attended Camden Community College for Business Administration and recently moved back to South Jersey from King of Prussia. Away from work (and sometimes while WFH), Gardella can be found enjoying time with her companion and confidant, Riley, a 3-year-old black lab. She also enjoys spending time with her large extended family, all of whom live in the area, and especially spoiling her niece and nephew.
