- Developed annual loan review process to improve accuracy of loan portfolio risk ratings, facilitate early problem recognition and reduce future loan losses.- Built commercial loan workout team to work collaboratively with borrowers to get loans back on track in an effort to preserve the relationship if possible and minimize financial impact to bank. For situations where those efforts failed or borrower was not cooperative, senior management elected to conduct bulk loan sales. Over two year period (2012-2013), through loan sales, payoffs,restructures and upgrades, non accrual loans were reduced from $69.1 million to $12.5 million and criticized/classified loans from $245.0 million to $40.0 million. - Implemented program to pursue recoveries on loans previously charged off, resulting in recoveries of $2.0 million in 2012 and almost $2.2 million in 2013.
