New division head brings more than two decades of industry experience
Oregon-based Umpqua Bank has announced the promotion of Kevin Skinner to executive vice president and head of home lending, following the retirement of former head Ron Stroble.
In his new role, Skinner will oversee an enterprise serving more than 10,000 customers and generating $4 billion in loan volume annually. He brings more than two decades of industry experience to his new position, including the last six years in various leadership roles at Umpqua. He most recently led the bank's home lending division teams responsible for secondary marketing, accounting, product development, pricing, systems, and operations.
“Kevin is a proven leader with deep and diverse experience in the home lending industry and Umpqua's culture of customer service,” said Tory Nixon, senior executive vice president and chief banking officer at Umpqua. “In recent years, he's played an integral role in our home lending division's strategic growth. We're fortunate to have someone of Kevin's caliber continue the strong record of success and effective leadership that Ron has provided for so many years.”
Prior to joining Umpqua Bank, Skinner served as first vice president of capital markets for HomeStreet Bank and led the mortgage capital markets and interest rate management divisions at USAA.
