In her new role, she will be tasked with developing and implementing WSFS's marketing and communications strategy, emphasizing the enhancement of brand awareness, digital marketing initiatives, data analytics, and overall customer experience. This strategic move aligns with WSFS's goal of solidifying its position as a premier financial institution in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware regions.

Hobson's appointment comes at a pivotal moment for WSFS, which boasts $20.9 billion in assets and $87.2 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2024.

In addition to Hobson's appointment, WSFS announces a transition for Justin Dunn, the former Chief Marketing Officer, who will now serve as Chief Community Impact Officer. In this newly established role, Dunn will lead the company's community strategy, focusing on volunteer initiatives, financial education, and the WSFS CARES Foundation. This shift reflects WSFS's commitment to community involvement and social responsibility, reinforcing its mission to make a positive impact in the regions it serves. As both leaders step into their new roles, WSFS Financial Corporation aims to enhance its brand presence while fostering strong community relationships.
