OUR TEAM
Tom Sullivan
CEO
Tom started his career in Philadelphia at one of the nation’s leading independent agencies. As an account lead on the region’s largest retail bank, PSFS, he learned the banking business from an institution that viewed marketing as a strategic tool to support long-term growth goals. He crunched as many numbers as he led advertising campaign development. He was offered an opportunity to join the bank after recommending and implementing a new initiative that resulted in the most successful loan acquisition program in the bank’s history. He chose instead to follow the agency track which led to many other opportunities to help banks grow. Since 1989, Tom has worked with the SVPs of Marketing of several large regional banks (assets from $20 – 100 billion) but also CEOs, CFOs, and COOs of many community banks. Along the way, he grew Princeton Partners from a boutique retail advertising agency into a strategic marketing partner for financial, consumer, and business services clients on a regional, national, and international basis. He acquired the firm in 2001 and led the growth of its digital innovation group. Tom has been a leader in economic development initiatives (New Jersey, Newark, Port Authority of NY & NJ) as well as an investor in venture-backed start-ups. He has served many non-profits including development lead and chairman of the board of Special Olympics New Jersey.
