BBVA Compass expands its team in Corpus Christi

HOUSTON, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BBVA Compass is continuing to expand its Corpus Christi team as it seeks to take advantage of opportunities in the coastal city.

East Texas Regional Manager for Commercial Banking Dan Brown, who helped the bank grow in the key market of Beaumont, has relocated to Corpus Christi as part of the bank's efforts to build its business there. The bank's East Texas markets include Beaumont, College Station, Corpus Christi, Orange, Nederland and Port Arthur.

"He's already helped us build a strong team of new relationship managers there."

The team Brown hired includes local experts Che Goff and Jerret Krouse, who recently joined the bank to help customers in Corpus Christi with their commercial banking needs.
