GulfShore Bank Names New Senior Vice President

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- GulfShore Bank recently promoted James H. Grant to Senior Vice President based on his exceptional client service, business development skills and contributions to the Tampa community.

“We attribute our success and continued growth to people like Jim Grant,” said Joe Caballero, CEO and president at GulfShore Bank. “Our corporate culture attracts well-rounded individuals who perform on overdrive in everything that they do, and Jim’s ability to consistently exceed goals, establish deep relationships with his clients and assume leadership roles in several community organizations contributed to his promotion.”

Grant has over 15 years of national commercial lending experience. Prior to joining GulfShore Bank in 2008, Grant held management positions at GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, the U.S. Small Business Administration, and General Innkeeping Acceptance Corporation, the former captive finance unit of Holiday Inn Worldwide.
   
Grant holds a B.A. in Economics from State University of New York at Albany and an M.B.A. and M.Ed. from the University of Georgia.  He is active on three community boards of directors, currently serving as the President-Elect of the Tampa Interbay Rotary Club, as a board member with the Palma Ceia Business District, and as the Vice President of the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce.

“I appreciate the respect and openness of our leaders at GulfShore Bank,” said Grant, “as well as our quality staff and our overall culture. I also appreciate the fact that we are one of the few banks still lending throughout this period of financial crisis. That says a lot about our organization.”
