Texas Capital Bank appointed Joe Valenzuela senior manager of diversity, equity and inclusion and Don Goin chief information officer. Both roles took effect earlier this month. In addition, Texas Capital Bank appointed Madison Simm president of mortgage finance following the retirement of Jack Nunnery, effective Aug. 2.

As vice president and senior manager of DE&I, Valenzuela will work with Texas Capital Bank’s leadership team and the company’s DE&I Council, and he will engage the company’s employees to accelerate its efforts to build a culture that embraces diverse voices and perspectives and attracts diverse talent.

As chief information officer, Goin will oversee Texas Capital Bank’s technology organization, its long-term technological strategies and the solutions it provides its clients. He will oversee the company’s use of technology to execute its business strategy, drive agility, improve efficiency and improve the client digital experience.

Simm, currently mortgage finance executive vice president at Texas Capital Bank, will succeed Nunnery as president of mortgage finance upon Nunnery’s retirement. In this role, Simm will be responsible for overseeing all business solutions delivered through the bank’s mortgage industry vertical, including warehouse lending, mortgage specialty lending and treasury and liquidity.

“Today’s leadership appointments represent another important step as we continue to transform our business to better serve our clients, colleagues and communities,” Rob C. Holmes, president and CEO of Texas Capital Bank, said. “Diversity has been a key focus area for our bank, and we believe Joe will be extremely valuable in leading our efforts to drive diversity, equity and inclusion, which in turn will strengthen our bank’s position. We also look forward to welcoming Don, who will be instrumental in helping us deliver enhanced service offerings and solutions to our clients by leveraging advanced technology.

“On behalf of the leadership team, I’d like to congratulate Madison on his promotion to president of mortgage finance. The division has performed very well over the past few years, and Madison has worked closely with Jack and has been a critical part of those efforts. We look forward to benefiting from his expertise in this new role as we propel our business forward to greater levels of growth. We also want to thank Jack for his innumerable contributions over the past 14 years and wish him all the best in his retirement.”
