Lloyd L. Hamm, Chief Executive Officer of River Run, proudly announces the appointment of Jamie Gabriel as Chief Human Resources Officer and Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, bringing more than 25 years of experience in human resources and banking to the organization.
A results-driven and people-first leader, Jamie has built her career around creating workplaces where individuals feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best work. Known for her collaborative approach, creative problem-solving, and genuine connection with people at every level, she is deeply committed to fostering inclusive, high-performing environments that celebrate both personal and professional growth.
To her new role, Jamie brings extensive experience as a strategic advisor and trusted partner to executive teams and boards of directors, along with leadership development for all levels, executive succession planning, and strategic governance. This wide breadth of knowledge positions her as a key leader in advancing River Run’s mission to provide world-class support and resources to its affiliated banks and their teams.
At River Run, Jamie will play a key role in shaping employee engagement, culture, and development initiatives across the organization and its family of banks — Newburyport Bank, Pentucket Bank, and Rollstone Bank & Trust. Her focus will include enhancing total rewards programs, strengthening communication, and ensuring every employee feels empowered to make an impact in the communities they serve.
“Jamie brings exceptional expertise and insight to our leadership team,” said Lloyd Hamm. “Her proven ability to guide organizations through growth and transformation, while maintaining a strong people-centered focus, will be invaluable as we continue to enhance the shared services model that supports our community banks and their employees.”
Jamie’s passion for helping others succeed aligns seamlessly with River Run’s mission to support its banks and the people who bring their purpose to life each day.
“I’m thrilled to join River Run and its family of banks,” said Jamie. “This organization is built on collaboration and purpose — values that resonate deeply with me. I look forward to helping shape an environment where every employee feels engaged, empowered, and inspired to deliver exceptional service to our customers and communities.”
Outside of work, Jamie is an active supporter of organizations that serve children and families, including the Salem Boys & Girls Club, St. Joseph’s School, and Family Services of the Merrimack Valley. She is also an active member of the Greater Merrimack Valley Human Resources Association.
When she’s not working or volunteering, Jamie enjoys spending time at the beach, traveling, and has recently discovered a love of golf — but above all, she cherishes time with her husband and two children.
