Growing up in inner-city Pittsburgh during the collapse of the steel industry, Vincent J Delie Jr learned early the value of grit, kindness and relentless work ethic. Now Chairman, President and CEO of F.N.B. Corporation, he shares how those roots shaped his leadership style, fueled a passion for innovation and helped him transform a struggling rural bank into a digitally driven powerhouse.

In this inspiring conversation, Delie opens up about overcoming early struggles with dyslexia, building a winning culture grounded in collaboration and purpose, and preparing for the seismic shifts AI and digital transformation are bringing to banking.

A masterclass in resilient leadership and building businesses that do well and do good.
