Today Janette Woods joins Gateway First Bank. Reflecting on the completion of this important banking executive search engagement Scott Petty remarked: “When Gateway transformed into a full-service bank in 2019, they committed to their communities and customers to only offer top-notch services and products. As a proven builder, leader and board advisor on audit and risk matters we know Janette will be making an immediate contribution to the GFB organization in this very important role.”
Janette attended The University of Texas at Arlington and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). Since 1989 she has held roles of increasing importance at Citi (formerly The Associates), Viewpoint Bank and most recently LegacyTexas Bank. “In a very competitive executive search banking landscape, particularly when it comes to financial and accounting professionals, this is a big win for our financial services recruiting team. I want to commend them for bringing Janette to GFB,” continued Scott.
