BBVA Compass released this information this week:

BBVA Compass recently announced staffing changes to its Laredo-based Wealth Management Group, including the addition of James Notzon as Senior Wealth Adviser.

The position was created for Notzon based upon his experience and understanding of the diverse financial needs of South Texas’ Wealth Management clients.

In his role for the South Texas Region, Notzon will be focused on delivering financial solutions to BBVA Compass’ Wealth Management clients. Notzon brings 24 years of banking, investment and wealth management experience to the bank, most recently in Laredo-based positions with Merrill Lynch (1992-2010) and the former Laredo National Bank (1986–1992).

A longtime Laredoan, Notzon is a board member of the Boys and Girls Club of Laredo, the Washington's Birthday Celebration Association, TAMIU Bi-National Center for Non-Profit Excellence and the Laredo Country Club. Notzon is also an alumnus of Leadership Laredo.

A graduate of St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Notzon holds degrees in both accounting and finance.

"James is a true Laredoan who wants the best for his community and his clients," said Bill Helms, Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Wealth Management. "His passion for Laredo, South Texas and Mexico is inseparable from his work. With expertise and knowledge of the market, honed by 24 years of banking, investment and wealth management in Laredo, James brings great leadership to BBVA Compass."

Giampaolo Consigliere, Laredo City President, added, "The addition of James to BBVA Compass and our Laredo-based Wealth Management Group servicing the South Texas region further demonstrates our commitment to Laredo and all of South Texas. This, combined with additional organizational changes within our Laredo Wealth Management Group, means that BBVA Compass’ presence in the region will continue to grow as we work to provide industry leading product solutions and services to our many clients."

Additional changes to Laredo Wealth Management include the promotion of Roxanna Ramos to Regional Manager. Ramos is a Laredo native and longtime BBVA Compass employee, who recently relocated to her hometown from San Antonio.

Additions have also been made to the Wealth Management sales force, with the promotion of Lizzy Treviño and Lalo Uribe, as well as the hiring of Mary Garza, as Private Bankers. Together, the three bring a combined 52 years of banking experience to the Wealth Management Group.
