NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- People's United Bank announced today that Scott Skorobohaty has joined the bank as Executive Vice President, Commercial Banking, responsible for the New York City and Long Island markets. Skorobohaty brings 20 years of experience in banking and financial services to the position, including proven capability in executive leadership as well as administrative and operational experience. He is responsible for driving the Commercial business in coordination with other bank leaders throughout the New York market.

Prior to joining the bank, Skorobohaty was Executive Vice President, Chief Banking Officer at Hudson Valley Bank, chiefly responsible for Sales and Marketing across the company, including overall direction, management and administration.
