Executive Officer Promotions
The Board of Directors of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), which is the wholly-owned bank subsidiary of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), approved the following executive officer promotions effective March 27, 2017 as part of their focus on continuing to align the Bank’s management structure with the Bank’s increasing size and complexity:
Michael Karr, Sr. EVP/ Chief Risk Officer
Mr. Michael Karr, 49, was promoted to Senior Executive Vice President/ Chief Risk Officer of the Bank. He previously served as Senior Executive Vice President/Chief Credit Officer of the Bank. In his new role, Mr. Karr will lead the Bank’s enterprise risk management group as the Bank approaches $10 billion in total assets, and will report directly to the Bank’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As the Bank’s Chief Credit Officer, Mr. Karr oversaw the Bank’s credit functions and was responsible for the Bank’s lending and portfolio operations since 2006, during which time the Bank’s total loans grew from approximately $605 million to over $6 billion.
Donn Jakosky, EVP/Chief Credit Officer
Mr. Donn B. Jakosky, 64, was promoted to the position of Executive Vice President/ Chief Credit Officer of the Bank. Mr. Jakosky has served as the Deputy Chief Credit Officer of the Bank since December 2017, during which time he assisted in the oversight of all of the Bank’s credit and lending functions. Mr. Jakosky’s leadership experience at publicly and privately held banks, spanning over 35 years, is heavily concentrated on credit and lending management. Prior to joining the Bank, Mr. Jakosky served as the Executive Vice President/Chief Credit Officer at Blue Gate Bank from January 2016 to December 2017. Mr. Jakosky served as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of Community Bank, where he was responsible for all credit and lending activities from 2009 until September 2015. At Community Bank, he supervised all credit administrators and underwriters in addition to other departments, and participated on the Bank’s key committees. From 2006 to 2009, Mr. Jakosky was Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer at 1st Century Bank. Before that, he served at Mellon 1st Business Bank as Senior Vice President/Senior Credit Administrator and Asset Based Lending Manager from 2004 to 2006, and previously served at Bank of America and Sanwa Bank in senior credit officer roles. Mr. Jakosky obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he subsequently also earned a Master of Business Administration degree.
Neither the Bank nor the Company entered into a new compensation arrangement with either Mr. Karr or Mr. Jakosky in connection with their promotions.
