Salisbury Bank in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

Lakeville-based Salisbury Bank and Trust Co. has appointed Todd J. Rubino as an executive officer of the bank.

Rubino will become the bank’s executive vice president and chief commercial lending officer effective Jan. 1, the bank said in a statement. Rubino has been the bank’s senior vice president and senior commercial loan officer since Salisbury Bank acquired Poughkeepsie, New York-based Riverside Bank in December of 2014.

“The change in responsibilities for Todd is part of a management reorganization intended to improve operating efficiency and effectiveness,” Rick Cantele, Salisbury’s president and CEO, said in the statement. “I believe this restructure will benefit the Bank in many ways such as improving internal processes, enriching the customer experience, enhancing communication, deepening our bench strength, and supporting our succession efforts in key areas. I look forward to continuing to work with Todd as we focus on our commitment to our stakeholders and the long-term success of our company.”

Before Riverside Bank was acquired by Salisbury, Rubino was Riverside’s executive vice president and senior lending officer from 2011 to 2014. He has more than 30 years of experience in community banking.
