First Sound Bank Promotes Lisa Cleary to Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer

"Lisa has demonstrated incredible leadership qualities in managing and improving our Credit Administration Department," said First Sound Bank President and CEO Jon Shelton.  "We are extremely fortunate to have someone of her caliber now join our executive management team."

Cleary began her banking career as an assistant vice president and loan operations manager for Fortune Bank in 2007 and was promoted to vice president and Small Business Administration (SBA) assistant manager for the bank in 2010, a position that she continued to hold after the 2013 merger with HomeStreet Bank.   Following her departure from HomeStreet, Cleary took an extended leave to travel the world before joining First Sound Bank.

She is a 2005 graduate of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, with a bachelor's degree in business administration management and organizations, and graduated with honors from Pacific Coast Banking School in 2013.  Cleary, who participated in the Washington Bankers Association Executive Development Program from 2009-2010, was awarded a scholarship by the organization to attend Pacific Coast Banking School.
