Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI), the holding
company of Pacific Premier Bank, announced today that E. Allen
Nicholson has been appointed Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of both Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. and Pacific
Premier Bank effective June 22, 2015. He will succeed Kent J.
Smith, who has served as Chief Financial Officer of both companies
since September 2009.
Steven R. Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer of both
Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. and Pacific Premier Bank said, “We
are pleased to have Allen Nicholson join our executive management
team at Pacific Premier, and look forward to the financial
expertise he brings to our organization. With nearly 20 years of
experience in the banking and the financial services industry, we
believe Allen will be instrumental as Pacific Premier continues to
grow organically and through strategic acquisitions. Allen has
enjoyed an accomplished career, and we are confident that Pacific
Premier provides him an excellent opportunity to continue to build
upon his past successes.”
Mr. Gardner continued, “I want to thank Kent Smith for his
service with Pacific Premier. Since joining us, Kent has played a
key role in helping us identify and integrate multiple
acquisitions, during which period Pacific Premier has grown to
$2.75 billion in total assets at March 31, 2015. We wish Kent the
very best.”
Mr. Nicholson started his career as a certified public
accountant and auditor with Coopers & Lybrand LLP. Mr.
Nicholson subsequently served in various finance roles at Mellon
Financial and its successor, BNY Mellon, in functional areas such
as commercial banking, private banking, mortgage banking, wealth
management, insurance services (life company, commercial agency,
consumer agency) and brokerage services. Mr. Nicholson concluded
his career at BNY Mellon as the Chief Financial Officer of Mellon
1st Business Bank, which at the time had $3.5 billion in total
assets, and as the Chief Financial Officer of BNY Mellon Wealth
Management's National Banking Business Line. In mid-2008, following
the sale of Mellon 1st Business Bank to U.S. Bank Corp., Mr.
Nicholson joined then two-year-old 1st Enterprise Bank as its Chief
Financial Officer, which grew from $200 million in total assets as
a de novo bank to an approximately $800 million institution when
Mr. Nicholson departed in late 2014 in connection with its
acquisition by CU Bancorp. Mr. Nicholson most recently has served
as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Pacific
Enterprise Bank. Mr. Nicholson received his bachelor's degree in
