About Benjamin Livermore

I am a commercial banking executive with more than 20 years of consistent revenue generation and leadership experience, having originated and closed over $1 billion in gross loan commitments across four financial institutions. At Bank of Hope, I currently manage a portfolio of broadly syndicated loans, with responsibility for origination, trade execution and ongoing portfolio management. I lead a team of three full-time professionals and oversee credit performance, risk management, and P&L for the team. Previously I was responsible for launching the bank\'s first Midwest loan production office. As Head of the Midwest Region, I was responsible for building brand awareness, establish trust with external partners through execution, recruit and retain talented professionals, and create a positive culture that drives sustainable growth. I successfully passed the CPA exam, earned an MBA from University of Chicago, and my bachelor\'s degree from Indiana University. My core strengths include relationship sales, leadership, collaboration, team building, and credit portfolio management.
