Gateway Mortgage Group has announced that Joe Siegel has been named Chief Banking Officer, where he will be responsible for executive oversight of the company’s Commercial, Consumer, and Specialty Lending activities in addition to Retail Banking services.

“Joe has had a distinguished career in banking, holding leadership roles in commercial, corporate and private wealth lending at a variety of institutions” said Stephen Curry, CEO of Gateway. “He has a proven track record of revenue generation, relationship management, and advisory services. We are excited to welcome him to Gateway and he is a core part of the team we have assembled to achieve our strategic objectives.”
 
Prior to joining Gateway, Siegel was Managing Director of Corporate Finance at Everett Advisory Partners LLC. He has worked in the banking industry for over 35 years and held senior leadership roles at BBVA North America and BBVA Compass, as well as Bank of America Merrill Lynch where he performed within the syndicated finance, corporate lending, and wealth management arenas. Siegel’s experience also extends to private banking and risk management.
