Hyperion board member advises...bank boards…
We’re proud of the impressive, working business leaders who are members of Hyperion’s Board of Directors – like Jim McAlpin, a corporate and banking lawyer who is Senior Counsel at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. Jim also serves on the Board for Bank Director (an organization that publishes Bank Director, spearheads industry conferences and more).
In a great new article for Bank Director, Jim shares, “…I’ve advised bank boards for more than 35 years. But when I joined (#Hyperion’s) board seven years ago, I realized I was embarking on a journey of discovery of actually *being* a director….”
The article is an exclusive for Bank Director members and, thus, is behind a paywall. But where else will you read nuggets like why Jim places so much emphasis of the quality of questions effective board members ask…?

We previously shared that Hyperion Bank is among the Philadelphia Business Journal's “Fast 50” – for the SIXTH consecutive year – ranking the Greater Philly region’s fastest-growing businesses. We recently celebrated with fellow honorees and learned our specific rank within the 50: Hyperion is #15 (!) on the list, with a 41.07% increase in revenue over the past two years.
And we were the only bank to make the ranking for the second year in a row. THANK YOU to our customers, team members & business partners who make this smart growth possible. We appreciate your confidence & business.
Enjoying the festivities, Hyperion Chair & CEO Charlie Crawford is pictured with, from left, PBJ Publisher Sandy Smith, and the bank’s Jennifer Gardella (VP, Commercial Lending), Frank Sullivan (EVP, Commercial Lending) & Lou DeCesare (President & COO).
The Fast 50 recognition comes on the heels of Hyperion’s inclusion in the 2025 Inc. 5000, recognizing fastest-growing private companies nationally; it is the second consecutive year the bank has made the Inc. 5000.

October: Cybersecurity Awareness Month 🪪
Cyber criminals have two main goals: Stealing your money and/or stealing your identity. Take good care:
- Avoid making sensitive transactions like purchases on public networks.
- Don't send payments to unknown people or organizations.
- Don’t open email or text messages from people or organizations you don’t know.
- Malicious website addresses may appear almost identical to legitimate sites.
- Don’t provide personal information, like date of birth, Social Security number, etc., unless you are sure of the purpose/requestor.
- Don’t share personal information in online profiles or on social media.
- Use strong and unique passwords.
-
Set up multi-factor authentication on all accounts that allow it. (Yes, you hate it, but it’s effective!) ⚠️
