As part of its strategic expansion into North Texas, San Antonio-based Broadway Bank has hired Scott Cortez to serve as Dallas market president. He will oversee commercial real estate and middle-market services in the metroplex, as well as a growing team of financial experts.
Cortez brings more than 30 years of banking experience managing commercial and industrial lending teams for financial institutions in North Texas. He specializes in companies based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with revenues ranging from $10 million to $200 million. He also has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, including industrial properties, office buildings and self-storage properties.
Cortez earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Louisiana State University. He serves as the finance committee chair for the Notre Dame School board of directors, a school serving children and young adults with learning differences.
“We’re proud to have Scott Cortez with his level of financial expertise and local relationships leading our Dallas team at this pivotal moment for Broadway Bank’s growth in this market,” says Harvey P. Hartenstine, president and chief banking executive. “[The team has] surpassed our goals in just a few short months and we’re excited to see them reach new heights with Scott’s leadership.”
“Throughout his career, Scott has exemplified a deep commitment in managing customer relationships with clients over decades, which is truly impressive and exactly the kind of banking we do at Broadway Bank,” says David Bohne, CEO. “As Broadway scales and expands banking efforts, the addition of Scott to our incredibly talented team enables continued growth across North Texas.”
Last June, Broadway Bank announced its entry into Dallas—its first market expansion north of San Antonio since opening in Austin in 2012. Broadway Bank’s Dallas branch is located in the Park Cities area at 8201 Preston Rd., Ste. 715, along the Dallas North Tollway. With a focus on commercial real estate lending, the Dallas office began as a loan production office and now has full branch capabilities.
Established in 1941, Broadway Bank serves San Antonio, Austin, the Texas Hill Country and Dallas.
