River Run is pleased to announce the promotion of Allen O’Brien to Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst from Assistant Vice President FP&A Analyst. With 15 years of industry experience and a strong background in accounting, analytics, and strategic planning, Allen plays a key role in supporting the Banks’ financial health and long-term goals.
In his new role, Allen is responsible for managing the bond purchases, wholesale funding strategies, liquidity analysis, interest rate risk (IRR), and Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) reporting. His insights and expertise help guide financial decision-making and ensure the company’s continued strength and stability.
“Allen brings deep financial knowledge, precision, and a thoughtful approach to everything he does, his strategic thinking and commitment to excellence make him a trusted advisor and a tremendous asset to our team.”
Says Karl Denu, Chief Financial Officer for River Run.
Allen is based out of Pentucket Bank’s Harbor Place offices. He resides in Kingston, NH with his wife Val and their two children, 3 year-old Molly and 4 month-old Tommy. Their household also includes their dog Reggie--and cats Bailey and Hobo--who are both 15 years old. A graduate of Bentley University, Allen holds a Bachelor’s in Accounting with a minor in Information Technology and is an active member of the New Hampshire Bankers Association.
While keeping up with his family keeps him on his toes, Allen still finds time to enjoy cooking, collecting vinyl records, watching Boston Sports (Go Celts!), and playing pool—though these days his league games have been replaced by matches in the family room. From managing interest rate risk to toddler negotiations, Allen brings focus and attentive care to everything he does.
