BBVA Compass named Steve Flynn and Jon McMullen city president and relationship manager, respectively, in its Los Angeles Commercial Banking office.

Led by Flynn, the team will be responsible for developing the bank’s largest commercial banking relationships in the Los Angeles metro and Southern California markets.

“Steve is our first city president dedicated strictly to the greater Los Angeles area, which tells you how important this market is to us,” said BBVA Compass California CEO Everett Orrick. “We’re putting the full weight of our global organization behind our efforts here, and we’re confident that Steve and [his] team will take advantage of those world-class resources to do great things for their clients.”

Flynn has more than 30 years of experience in finance and has served a wide range of industries, including technology and entertainment. Before joining BBVA Compass, he managed a team of commercial bankers focused on serving middle-market clients in the greater Los Angeles area.

McMullen has 12 years of experience in the financial services industry, and has worked in commercial banking, investment banking, capital markets and business strategy consulting. He spent most of his career in Los Angeles, working with middle-market companies, but also worked with large corporations in New York.
