Beth Reizman, executive vice president and chief credit officer of Bank of Marin, will retire on Jan. 3, 2022. In the interim, on Sept. 30, Reizman will step down from her role as chief credit officer and remain on staff at Bank of Marin to facilitate the transition of duties to her successor. Reizman’s 40-year career in finance and banking has included experience in business banking, private banking, commercial lending and credit administration.

Misako Stewart, currently senior vice president and senior credit manager for Bank of Marin, will succeed Reizman as executive vice president and chief credit officer for the bank. In her current role and at her current approval authority, Stewart works with Reizman and is a liaison between the bank’s commercial banking and credit administration teams.

Stewart started with Bank of Marin in 2013 as a commercial banking manager and was named senior credit manager within commercial banking in 2018. In a career that has spanned more than 30 years, Stewart has focused on credit administration for mid-sized businesses and commercial lending, including a niche focus on wine industry finance.

“Under Beth’s leadership, Bank of Marin has maintained an unwavering commitment to balancing a strong credit culture and relationship banking, leading us to be one of the premier community banks in California. We are grateful for all that she has contributed to our team, our community and the bank’s long-term success,” Russell A. Colombo, CEO of Bank of Marin, said. “We ensure that commitment remains unbroken with Misako Stewart as our next chief credit officer. She brings a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge to the job.”
