Malvern, Pa. (August 28, 2025) – Meridian Bank announced the promotion of Christopher J. Godshall to Head of Commercial & Industrial Lending. In this new role, Godshall will manage Meridian’s core of experienced business lenders in its three regions across the Delaware Valley, as well as in its new Florida branch.

Meridian Bank President and CEO Chris Annas said, “Chris joined us right at our beginnings and was a great student with some incredible mentors. I’m proud that Merdian has been able to provide such a successful career path for Chris, and even prouder that, through his tireless and diligent work, he is eminently qualified to step right into this important new role.”

A member of the Bucks County Economic Development Council board, Godshall is an avid auto enthusiast. He, with his wife and daughter, resides in Lansdale, PA.
