Oliver Ariztoy has been named district manager for Wells Fargo’s Santa Clarita Valley market in the San Fernando Valley Community Bank. Ariztoy replaces Kevin Dunbar, who was recently promoted to another role within the company. Ariztoy will oversee more than 160 team members at 12 Wells Fargo bank branches in the communities of Santa Clarita, Castaic and Stevenson Ranch – including the Golden Valley Ranch de novo in Canyon Ranch scheduled to open later this year.
“Oliver is a proven leader and outstanding financial manager and I look forward to watching him build on our great success in this market,” said Vince Liuzzi, Wells Fargo Community Bank regional president for the San Fernando Valley.
Ariztoy joined Wells Fargo in 2008 after a distinguished 12-year career at Bank of America, where he managed the company’s Central California/Northern Nevada region overseeing more than 2,400 associates, 231 retail branches and $29 billion in deposits. Prior to that, Ariztoy led and managed 34 banking stores in the West Los Angeles market as a consumer market executive. He also worked as a market sales manager and store manager.
Ariztoy earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and human resources management from California State University Bakersfield, and his master’s degree in business administration from the University of La Verne. He also graduated from the Retail Bank School of Management at the University of Virginia.
Ariztoy resides in Woodland Hills with his wife and two children. ⨠“I am excited about joining the only bank in the U.S. to have the highest credit rating from both Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s,” said Ariztoy. “I look forward to working with the Santa Clarita Valley team to help Wells Fargo’s customers achieve their financial goals.”
