SAN ANTONIO, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BBVA Compass has appointed banking industry veteran Ryan Parker as its new San Antonio CEO, where he will lead the market’s commercial banking and small business operations, the local Global Wealth team and manage the local advisory board.

Parker has been in the industry for 11 years, with a background in the commercial line of business. Since joining BBVA Compass in 2012 as a corporate relationship manager, he has been the bank’s market leader in total commercial production, and has assisted in overall strategies in client relationship development.
