About Eric Hight

As Vice President of Commercial Business Development at National Cooperative Bank since January 2022, I have been responsible for expanding the bank’s commercial business portfolio. My focus lies primarily within the hardware and grocery industries, where I provide SBA and conventional financing to investors for branch expansions and competitor conversions. My work is rooted in strategic financial solutions tailored to the needs of cooperatives, franchisees, and retailers. With over eight years of experience across sales, commercialization, and business development, I bring a strong background in channel account management, sales forecasting, and collaborating with executive teams. At Ace Hardware Corporation, I led international paint business strategies and executed large-scale contracts, driving significant revenue and profit growth. My goal is to deliver impactful results through innovative strategies and meaningful collaboration that supports our clients’ growth and success.
