LISA HALEY-HUFF

Lisa Haley-Huff, the proud 1988 Allderdice High School graduate who has spent decades in the banking industry with stops in Chicago and New York City, has come home.

The New Pittsburgh Courier has learned that Haley-Huff was recently named Western Pa.’s Market Executive for middle market commercial banking at JPMorgan Chase. She said she’s tasked with “serving businesses of all sizes throughout their life cycle, from startup to expansion to IPO (Initial Public Offering) and beyond.”

While Chase only opened its first Pittsburgh branch two years ago at One Oxford Centre, Downtown, Haley-Huff said the institution has been “doing business in Pittsburgh for several decades…Pittsburgh is a thriving city with a robust economy. There are a diverse number of businesses/industries such as advanced manufacturing, logistics, robotics, life sciences, and of course health care to just name a few. What company wouldn’t be attracted to a city like that, including those of us in financial services?”

Haley-Huff said the middle market commercial banking group helps bring capabilities to local business communities, helping them succeed in growth through credit and financing, digital banking and payments, treasury and merchant services and international banking.

Haley-Huff, who grew up in Point Breeze, graduated from Brown University with a bachelor’s in economics. She then earned a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University in 2000.

Haley-Huff’s parents are no stranger to success—Elizabeth Ann Haley and Leon Haley Sr., the latter is professor emeritus of public policy at the University of Pittsburgh.

“Both of my parents are my mentors and have had tremendous impacts on me as an individual,” Haley-Huff told the Courier in an exclusive interview, Nov. 30. “I could not have been as successful as I am without their support and guidance. I also had strong adoration for my grandmother, Mattie Sharpe, who came from a strong lineage of educators.  My great-grandfather in Alabama was a school principal. That was very unique at that time. Therefore, my parents coupled a focus on education as well as a strong work ethic for me and my brothers. This has served me well in life. And that has not changed as they continue stressing that same focus for my son (Jacob Tyler).”

While working for PNC Bank in Chicago as senior vice president and market manager for middle market sales, she mentored young women as part of the Maria High School/Big Shoulders Foundation. Haley-Huff, now a Shadyside resident, told the Courier she wants to participate in community efforts and volunteerism in her hometown.

Haley-Huff also said JPMorgan Chase made a five-year, $30 billion Racial Equity Commitment “to help close the racial wealth gap among Black, Hispanic and Latino communities.” The investment focuses on, among other aspects, financial health, mortgage refinance, homeownership, affordable rental housing and philanthropy.
