“Traci’s wide-ranging experience and customer-first mindset make her a tremendous asset to TAB Bank,” said Curtis Sutherland, Senior Vice President and Head of Sales at TAB Bank. “Her background in complex credit structures, paired with her ability to balance risk management with relationship-building, will help us build value for our clients. Traci embodies our mission to unlock dreams with bold financial solutions that lift and empower, especially as we grow our presence in Southern California.”

Crabtree’s career progression has given her a comprehensive understanding of all facets of transaction structuring and portfolio management.
