Firm announces two key appointments
Gateway First Bank has expanded its footprint in Oklahoma City with a new office led by mortgage professionals Jeb Cook and Bryan Geiger.
The Jenks Okla.-headquartered mortgage firm announced plans to open a retail banking center in the metro later this year. Gateway has also broken ground on a flagship banking center on its corporate headquarters campus in Jenks.
Cook will take on the role of president of commercial banking in the Oklahoma City market. He brings a wealth of experience in commercial banking, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans.
Geiger, who will serve as senior vice president of commercial real estate, also has years of experience in commercial real estate finance and lending, real estate banking, and securitized commercial mortgage lending.
"We are thrilled to expand our team into new markets, and having Bryan and Jeb with their years of experience will be invaluable to us," said Charlie Crouse, senior vice president and commercial banking executive. "In 2019, Gateway transformed into a full-service bank and made a commitment to serve our communities by offering top-notch products and services. These new appointments further that commitment. I look forward to them being integral members of the Gateway team."
