Decades of banking. Built for this moment.

Led by founders who each bring nearly four decades in banking and financial services, supported by a team built for exactly this work.

H. Russell Holland III

Co-Founder – Chief Executive Officer‍ ‍Certified Daily Money Manager (CDMM®)

Leadership You Can Trust.

Russ brings nearly four decades of experience across every dimension of banking and financial services — credit, lending, risk, retail banking, and family office administration. He began his career as a Senior Auditor at KPMG after earning his B.S. in Accountancy from Wake Forest University, building an early foundation in financial reporting and internal controls that still shapes his approach today.

He went on to hold senior leadership roles across every tier of banking — large national institutions such as Bank of America and Wachovia (now Wells Fargo), regional banks such as Seacoast, and private banks such as Union Bank (now part of Truist) and Fieldpoint Private, where he most recently served as President & CEO. That range gives him a rare, ground-level understanding of how banks actually work — knowledge he now brings directly to Hayward Private's clients.

Deborah L. Horvath

Co-Founder – Director of Client Experience

‍ ‍Certified Daily Money Manager (CDMM®)

Expertise Personally Applied.

Debbie brings more than four decades of banking experience to Hayward Private, most recently as a Credit Administration Specialist at Fieldpoint Private Bank in Greenwich, Connecticut — the same institution where Russ served as President & CEO. Her career began in 1979 at Pima Savings and Loan Association in Tucson, Arizona (now part of Bank of America), and continued through Bank One, Arizona (now part of JPMorgan Chase) and Compass Bank (now part of PNC Financial Services), where she managed complex commercial real estate loan operations and documentation.

Debbie later served at Seacoast National Bank in Stuart, Florida — another institution where she and Russ crossed paths — supporting the Chief Banking Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and Special Assets Department in a range of executive and administrative roles. She went on to become a Credit Administration Specialist at SouthCrest Bank (now part of Georgia Colony Bankcorp) before returning to private banking at Fieldpoint Private.

Across every role, Debbie’s work has centered on precision, discretion, and the meticulous documentation and reporting senior bank executives and boards rely on. That same rigor now shapes how she leads the client experience at Hayward Private — overseeing day-to-day communication, bill-capture oversight, payment confirmations, and monthly reporting for every client household.

Stephanie A. Coba

Client Success Advisor

‍ ‍Certified Daily Money Manager (CDMM®)

Clarity, Consistency, Care.

Stephanie brings six years of progressive banking experience at Fieldpoint Private Bank — the same institution where Russ and Debbie built their careers — to her role supporting Hayward Private’s clients. She began in commercial banking as a Commercial Banking Associate, advancing to Commercial Banking Associate Manager and then Associate Banking Advisor Manager, before moving into her current role as Learning & Development Manager, where she builds training and onboarding processes for Fieldpoint’s banking teams.

Earlier in her career, she worked in retail and commercial banking at Flushing Bank as a Universal Banker and in Commercial Sales Support. That combination of hands-on banking advisory experience and structured process-building now shapes how she supports Hayward Private’s clients — ensuring every household’s needs are met with clarity, consistency, and care.

The People Behind Hayward

  • Every client relationship at Hayward Private is backed by a team with wide-ranging, seasoned experience across banking, credit, compliance, technology, and operations — the same disciplines that shape how large financial institutions run, applied here at a personal scale. This isn’t a call center or a rotating cast of support staff. Every client is assigned a dedicated professional who knows their household, their vendors, and their preferences — backed by a broader team that ensures nothing depends on any one person being available. Reporting, compliance monitoring, and day-to-day account activity are reviewed with the same rigor you’d expect from an institutional back office, brought down to the level of a single household. All team members undergo background screening prior to client engagement, and every engagement is supported by the same discretion, precision, and personal care that define how Hayward Private operates.

“Professional, discreet, and remarkebly thorough. Hayward Private has become a trusted extension of our family’s financial life.”
