He has built his professional reputation on a disciplined, data-driven approach and a steady, collaborative executive style. His work centers on transforming complex financial data into practical insights that guide operational execution and long-term strategy.

Over the years, Brendon’s responsibilities have included financial reporting, asset and liability management, analytics, mergers and acquisitions, and enterprise-level performance strategy. He has consistently focused on strengthening institutions through careful planning, strong governance, and measurable outcomes. Alongside institutional results, he has placed importance on mentoring teams and building internal capabilities that support sustainable growth.

Brendon Falconer was raised in York, Pennsylvania, where he developed an early commitment to both academics and athletics. As a competitive track and field athlete, he gained discipline, focus, and resilience. At the same time, he pursued technical and business-centered academics that shaped his interest in finance. He later earned an accounting degree from Kent State University and completed an MBA at Indiana State University. His formal education in management, strategy, and organizational leadership provided a solid base for his advancement in the banking industry.

Technically, Brendon has developed expertise in financial accounting, asset and liability management, management reporting, and data analytics. His analytical background includes econometric modeling, ACL development, and stress testing frameworks. He also has experience in credit analysis, financial modeling, investment portfolio oversight, and the design of hedging and derivatives strategies.

In February 2014, Brendon became senior vice president at Old National Bank, where he led management reporting and data analytics. In that role, he oversaw enterprise financial, operational, and credit reporting while advancing the bank’s analytical capabilities. He later transitioned to treasurer in September 2016, taking responsibility for liquidity, capital planning, market risk sensitivity, investment portfolio oversight, and treasury operations. During this period, he contributed to the development of centralized pricing frameworks and enhanced market risk analysis.

Since May 2019, he has served as Old National Bank's senior executive vice president and chief financial officer. His leadership responsibilities include financial accounting, reporting, tax, treasury, data analytics, management reporting, facilities, procurement, and oversight of finance teams across the organization.

Beyond his executive work, Brendon Falconer has contributed to industry dialogue as a speaker at the “Acquired or Be Acquired” banking conference in both 2022 and 2023.

He also remains active in community initiatives, supporting nonprofit and educational organizations and serving in financial advisory roles.
