Customers Bank

At Customers Bank, we firmly believe the future is not just something we enter but something we can create. Each year, the Silicon Valley Business Journal recognizes Silicon Valley's brightest young professionals who are actively working to shape the future of their companies, communities, and their industries. It was an honor to not only sponsor the 2024 40 Under 40 Awards, but for several of our team members to attend. We send our congratulations to all of the deserving honorees! https://lnkd.in/eUBsbAw3

Introducing Christopher Smith, our Managing Director and Group Head, Healthcare Financial Services. With a career marked by strategic leadership, dealmaking and talent development, Chris has recently guided his team through an exciting expansion. His vision? "To build on what we've done and create new layers to the success we’ve had." Chris sees his role as much more than just overseeing operations—he’s a strategic council, clearing the path for his team to run at full speed and deliver exceptional results for our clients. In the competitive world of healthcare lending, where relationships are key, Chris believes, "We might not be the biggest bank, but we have the best people." His team is nimble, bristling with talent, and ready to take on the challenges of this tight-knit industry. Winning and closing a loan is just the beginning—Chris knows that true success lies in the lasting partnerships built along the way.
