Randall comes to City National from Wells Fargo, where he was most recently executive vice president and regional senior credit officer, responsible for the credit quality of $80 billion in loan commitments throughout the central and western regions of the United States.

During a successful 28-year banking career there, he held credit and lending responsibilities in a wide array of industries, including commercial, industrial, real estate, healthcare and entertainment.

Randall began his banking career in 1989. For 10 years, he worked in Wells Fargo’s Southern California middle-market banking business, first as a client relationship manager in Irvine and Long Beach and then as a credit officer.

A graduate of the University of Illinois, he also holds a master’s degree in business administration from San Diego State University.
