John has spent 35 years as an executive in the financial services industry, focusing for many years on technology start-up companies. He is presently the Chairman and CEO of Central Pacific Bank, Honolulu, Hawaii. Since joining Central Pacific Bank (CPB) in 2010, John has led the bank in its $325 million recapitalization and its return to profitability. CPB now has 13 quarters of profitability since its recapitalization.

From 1993 to 2001, John was Chief Executive Officer of Silicon Valley Bancshares and Silicon Valley Bank; and, from 2001 to 2003, he was Chairman of the Board. During his eight years as CEO at Silicon Valley Bank, assets grew from $935 million to $5.5 billion; employees from 235 to over 1,000; and market capitalization from $63 million to a high of over $3 billion. During this period, he was recognized by Business Week as one of Silicon Valley’s top 25 “movers and shakers” and by Forbes as one of the “50 most powerful dealmakers.” In 2000, and again in 2001, Silicon Valley Bancshares was ranked first among the second-hundred largest banking companies in the United States by U.S. Banker, based upon return on equity and growth in per-share net income over a five-year period.
