Oregon business executive John Stirek jointed Summit Bank’s board of directors following regulatory approval on Sept. 2, 2025. Stirek retired in 2024 after a long tenure with Trammell Crow Company/CBRE, where he served as president of Western Operations and Capital Markets, chief operating officer and national director of development and investment.
He is a co-founder of Rogue Venture Partners and has served on corporate and community boards, including the CBRE Foundation and the Lake Oswego School District Foundation. He also serves on the advisory board of Financial Beginnings, a nonprofit focused on financial education. Stirek holds a B.S. in accounting from Oregon State University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
“John brings disciplined real estate and operating experience to our board,” Craig Wanichek, president and CEO of Summit Bank, said. “That perspective will sharpen our oversight of growth, risk and long-range planning.”
Paul Weinhold, chair of Summit Bank’s board of directors, said, “After a comprehensive search we believe John’s business acumen and community roots are perfectly aligned with our continued growth plans at Summit and our initiatives in the Portland market.”
Outside his corporate roles, Stirek and his wife are Oregon State University alumni. He currently serves as chair of the OSU Athletics board, is co-chair of the OSU Foundation Campaign Steering Committee and is a past chair of the OSU Foundation Board.
