1. Working with a Midwest bank for over 10 years on multiple growth and performance engagements from strategy through execution, we have seen the bank grow over 300% from a bank of $1.6B to over $5B in assets.

2. For a $5B commercial bank in the Southwest, we identified a product, segment and market strategy to stand up a private banking line of business with a potential of half a billion in additional deposits and over $250MM in loans.

3. For a $1B+ asset credit union in the West, we developed a business services strategy that would potentially add over 10% in in net income value.
