Ash Patel serves as President and CEO of Commercial Bank of California. He has over 20 years of banking experience, from entrepreneurial orientation to banking with the small businesses. Mr. Patel’s principle management style is based upon investing in relationships and technology to enhance the client experience with CBC.

Under Mr. Patel's leadership CBC has shown significant growth from around $200 million in assets in 2013, to approximately $825 million as of June 30, 2017. This growth was accomplished both organically and through the acquisition of National Bank of California.

This initiative has led to the successful turnaround of Commercial Bank of California, which will be within an achievable target of becoming a privately held billion-dollar bank.
