About John Dillon

Before I retired, I was responsible for managing and growing client relationships in our Engineering and Construction group across the Eastern U.S. – providing businesses within the vertical, and its subsectors, with a range of strategic advisory, lending and treasury management solutions. Levering a depth of industry knowledge, my focus on business development and credit management is informed by three decades of product expertise – including credit structuring and underwriting – and a foundation in investment banking. This unique skillset is a key differentiator, along with my ability to build an immediate rapport with clients, grounded in an established industry track record. Drawing on an extensive referral network, and global thought leadership across BMO, I helped meet the diverse needs of our clients – from corporate lending and capital markets financing, to treasury management, M&A and derivatives. Engineering & Construction Whether you’re an engineering and design firm, general or specialty contractor, architect, consultant, or materials supplier, you need a partner that is familiar with the cyclical nature of this industry. Our experienced team has been consistently involved with the industry for over 50 years and can help businesses in all subsectors of the industry take on complex initiatives, develop the right strategy, manage risk and meet their financial goals.
