BANKS & FINANCIAL SERVICES BIOPHARMACEUTICAL
For years, Katie Wilkinson has served
as top executive for Lancaster, Pa.-
based Fulton Bank in Delaware and
Cecil County, Md. Recently, her success
has led her to turn her attention to
Fulton Bank’s credit line of business
as part of its Fulton First Initiative
across fi ve states. She relied on her
prior experience as division manager of
the former Wilmington Trust to break
the bank into the local market. When
Fulton Bank aquired First Republic's
assets in 2024, Wilkinson was asked
to step up and lead commercial and
middle market business across all fi ve
states where Fulton Bank operates.
