Bank of Marin in California Hires New CFO

Bank of Marin Bancorp (BRMC) in Novato, Calif., has completed its search for a new chief financial officer.

The $1.4 billion-asset company said late Thursday that it had hired Tani Girton as its CFO. The position had been vacant since May, when Christina Cook resigned to join another company.

Girton previously served at Bank of the West in San Francisco, where she was an executive vice president and treasurer. Before that, she was vice president of treasury capital markets at Charles Schwab.

Girton "has a strong track record of success in business and driving positive change in the community, and she will be a wonderful asset to our team," Russell Columbo, Bank of Marin's president and chief executive, said in a press release.

Bank of Marin agreed to buy NorCal Community Bancorp in Alameda, Calif., for $32.7 million earlier this month, a deal that would mark the company's entry into the Easy Bay market.
