Grandpoint Bank today announced the appointment of Jeff Boyer as
Executive Vice President and Director of Corporate Banking. Boyer will
be responsible for supporting the expansion of corporate banking
capabilities throughout the Bank. He will also direct the Bank’s
syndicated lending function and interest rate swap products, which
provide business clients with access to competitive fixed rate loan
options. In addition, Boyer will oversee the growth of the downtown Los
Angeles headquarters’ commercial banking unit.
“Jeff is a very talented banker, who we expect will be a key player in
charting Grandpoint’s future course,” said Dan C. Yates, President of
Grandpoint Capital, Inc., parent company of Grandpoint Bank. Boyer will
report to Yates. “We are excited to have him as a member of our
executive management team. His wealth of experience will be a tremendous
asset to Grandpoint. Jeff will play a pivotal role in positioning
Grandpoint as the bank of choice for corporations that want to work with
bankers who understand their complex needs and can deliver solutions and
strategies to help them grow revenues and improve earnings.
“There has been a clear void in the market for a commercial bank that
has the capital, lending capacity, business expertise, sophisticated
cash management products, and a strategic commitment to serve the needs
of larger businesses in the region,” Yates said.
Prior to joining Grandpoint Bank, Boyer managed Citizen’s Business
Bank’s San Fernando Valley Commercial Banking Group, which he
established in 2008. Previously, Boyer worked for Mellon 1st
Business Bank. He joined Mellon in 1997 and held a variety of positions,
serving as Group Manager in the Downtown Los Angeles office and then as
Regional Vice President of the bank’s San Fernando Valley region. Boyer
launched his banking career in 1994 with Bank of America after receiving
his M.B.A. from Loyola Marymount University. Boyer also holds a Bachelor
of Science degree in Finance from California State University Northridge.
“Jeff has an impressive record of successfully building corporate
banking relationships in the markets that are important to Grandpoint,”
said Don M. Griffith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Grandpoint
Bank. “He understands how the strength and quality of client
relationships fuel a bank’s success, and he will play a central role in
implementing our Grandpoint vision.”
Grandpoint Bank has banking offices in downtown Los Angeles, Brentwood,
El Segundo, Encino, Orange, Anaheim and Santa Ana, and an LPO in
