Newport, OR - Oregon Coast Bank (OCB) is pleased to announce the promotion of Tomi Shotuyo to Assistant Vice President, Commercial Lender. Shotuyo joined OCB in August 2023, shortly after completing a master's degree in business from Oregon State University, and has since built a growing portfolio within the bank's commercial lending team.

Shotuyo's path into banking began internationally as a Client Service Executive. Over five years, that role grew into positions across financial assets before a move into commercial and investment banking as an Equity Sales Analyst. That varied foundation across investment banking, data analytics, and commercial lending has shaped a well-rounded approach to the work.

In this new role, Shotuyo takes on a larger loan portfolio along with expanded leadership responsibilities both within and outside the bank, and will drive an increased level of business development activity for OCB.

For Shotuyo, the appeal of OCB has always been its ties to the communities it serves. "One of the things I appreciate most about OCB is its strong commitment to the local communities it serves," Shotuyo said. "I enjoy working in an environment where I can see the direct impact of our decisions and personalized approach on our customers and communities."

That community focus is part of what makes commercial lending meaningful. "Commercial lending is about helping business owners achieve their goals and grow their companies," Shotuyo said. "In turn, thriving businesses strengthen the communities they serve. It creates a positive ripple effect, and I find it genuinely rewarding to be a part of that process."

Having worked across three distinct corners of the financial industry, Shotuyo brings a unique perspective to the role, one built on turning numbers into stories, insights, and practical business decisions.

Oregon Coast Bank is the only bank built by and for people on the coast. It was founded when 115 coastal families pooled their resources to establish a locally owned and operated bank; its assets now exceed $400 million. For decades, OCB has been dedicated to keeping dollars local and helping coastal businesses thrive.
