Bank of the West announced the promotion of Lindsey McLorg to vice president in the Equipment Finance Division, as a senior secondary markets officer and Katherine Nordendahl to vice president in the Indirect Equipment Finance Division as a marketing officer.

Most recently, McLorg was in the bank’s portfolio servicing group. In her new role, McLorg will act upon the bank’s decision to more aggressively enter secondary markets and will pursue the purchase of middle-market transactions on a nationwide basis. She has been with the bank since 2004.

Nordendahl is well known to Bank of the West sources in the indirect equipment finance business, having previously served as assistant vice president since April 2005. In her expanded role, Nordendahl takes on greater responsibilities through increased accounts management and geographic territory. She joined the bank in 1998.

“Lindsey and Katherine have been assets to equipment finance sources for many years,” said Mike Przekop, senior vice president and indirect equipment finance manager. “We are pleased to offer each of them expanded roles that will enhance our ability to meet our goals and more effectively service our sources of new business.”
