Conrad Figueroa is Central Pacific Bank’s new senior vice president and director of Mainland lending within the Credit Strategies & Solutions team, the bank announced.

Figueroa will play a key role in developing nationwide banking relationships, structuring and originating sophisticated investments and providing comprehensive banking services to local private equity and credit sponsors, the bank said in its announcement.

“Conrad brings more than 25 years of commercial executive banking experience and a proven track record of client advocacy, earning him a stellar reputation as a trusted advisor,” said Ralph Mesick, senior executive vice president and chief risk officer at Central Pacific Bank. “His leadership, strategic vision and ability to drive revenue growth are just a few of the reasons we are thrilled to welcome him to our team.”
