SANTA CLARA, CALIF., January 30, 2003 — Silicon Valley Bank, a subsidiary of Silicon Valley Bancshares (SIVB), announced today the appointment of Larry Lopez, former managing director of SVB Securities, as president of its Private Banking group. Lopez will oversee strategic direction and day-to-day operations of the group and spearhead the ongoing development of new products and services for private banking clients. In addition, Lopez will be responsible for management of Woodside Asset Management, for private investment counsel.
"Larry's trusted leadership, experience, valued Silicon Valley relationships and expertise in commercial banking, investment products and international banking give him a breadth of knowledge ideally suited for this role," said Harry Kellogg, vice chairman of Silicon Valley Bancshares.
