HEIT provides integrated technology and business services that continuously monitor, support and secure the financial institution’s technology assets over the cloud, while ensuring compliance readiness.

In his new position at HEIT, Matino oversees business development, client relations and marketing. His responsibilities at HEIT also include ensuring that clients’ evolving technology and compliance needs are met through the company’s managed services, subject matter experts and support resources.
