Gary Orr is the newest member of River City Bank’s Board of Directors. A third-generation banker with nearly four decades of experience, Gary recently retired from Wells Fargo Bank, where he held a variety of leadership roles over the course of his 32-year tenure. Gary brings extensive experience in Investor Commercial Real Estate lending, having most recently led efforts to build relationships with CRE investors across the United States. Prior to that assignment, Orr led Wells Fargo’s middle-market commercial banking teams for the Central Valley, including the Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton and North Valley Markets. As a member of the board, Gary will provide governance and aid in River City Bank’s continued expansion efforts throughout California.
In addition to commercial real estate, he also has significant expertise in lending to companies in many industry verticals including agriculture, distribution, manufacturing, retailing, transportation, ski resort areas, and wholesaling.
Gary joins RCB at a time when Sacramento’s home market continues to thrive, and its footprint in the Bay Area and Southern California continues to expand. Gary’s extensive experience in many facets of commercial banking makes him a valuable addition to the board. We look forward to pairing his high-level insights with our nimble and client-centered approach to commercial banking.
