Perrin has more than 30 years of banking experience, most recently serving as

vice president. At BHI USA, Ziozis and Perrin developed the bank’s middle market
lending group, with an emphasis on providing full relationship banking services,

Prior to BHI USA, Ziozis was a managing director and senior vice president at Herald
National Bank, where he worked with Perrin to organize a full-service banking team
to provide commercial and private banking services to middle-market size
companies, their owners and key employees. His prior experience includes senior
