First Republic taps San Diego relationship manager
Former First Federal real-estate lender moves to Merrill-owned
private bank. First Republic Bank has hired former First Federal
Bank of California executive John Cunningham as a relationship
manager in its San Diego office.
Growing needs
"John Cunningham is a very successful real-estate lender and
private banker with a reputation for delivering exceptional
client service," says First Republic's president and COO
Katherine August-deWilde. "John's experience and expertise will
enable First Republic to enhance its ability to meet the growing
needs of clients in the San Diego region."
Cunningham was with Santa Monica, Calif.-based First Federal for
five years as v.p. of income-property lending in San Diego.
Earlier he was with World Savings and Loan (now part of
Wachovia).
In his new role at First Republic, Cunningham will provide
private-banking, business banking, investment-banking and trust
services and real-estate financing to high-net-worth clients.
San Francisco-based First Republic provides private- and
commercial-banking, investments, brokerage and wealth-management
services. It is a division of Merrill Lynch. -FWR
