Bridge Bank made three leadership changes within its technology and equity fund resources banking groups.
The leadership changes will result in being more closely aligned with the company’s strategic plan as Bridge Bank and its technology and equity fund resources banking groups continue to grow.
Blake Reid, senior vice president, based in Bridge Bank’s technology banking group in Atlanta will oversee the Southeast region and Matt Klinger, senior vice president based in Reston, VA, will oversee the Mid-Atlantic region. Reid and Klinger will also continue to be responsible for creating flexible debt financing solutions for companies in a variety of technology sectors and supporting the group’s continued growth and reputation as a leading technology lender.
Guy Simpson, senior vice president of Bridge Bank’s technology banking group, has been promoted to senior vice president, managing director of the equity fund resources (EFR) group. Simpson will oversee the entire EFR group and promote its continued growth both in Silicon Valley and across the country.
“With the continued growth of our technology banking group in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, I’m proud to be placing Blake and Matt in their respective positions. Both have contributed greatly to the success of Bridge Bank over the years,” said Tim Boothe, president of Bridge Bank. “I’m also confident, that in his new position, Guy will continue to lead our EFR group to significant future achievements along their current path of accelerated growth.”
Founded in 2001 in Silicon Valley, Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, serves small-market and middle-market businesses across various industries, as well as emerging technology companies and the private equity community.
