Monterey County Bank Appoints Dennis R. Woods and Amarjit Shokeen to Its Board of Directors
Monterey County Bank, a subsidiary of PCB Financial, Inc., has appointed Dennis R. Woods as a Director for the bank and Amarjit Shokeen as a Director for both PCB and Monterey County Bank. These appointments aim to strengthen the board's expertise in banking, finance, operations, and entrepreneurship. Dennis R. Woods brings over 35 years of community banking experience, having led United Security Bank from its founding until it was acquired by Community West Bank earlier this year. Amarjit Shokeen is a co-founder of two successful companies—Apolis (annual revenue $65 million) and Welcome Group Inc.—and has extensive experience in venture building across technology and real estate. Bill Wilson, President & CEO of Monterey County Bank, highlighted the value these appointments bring to governance and strategic capabilities. The move aligns with PCB Financial's ongoing strategy following its acquisition of Northern California Bancorp and Monterey County Bank earlier this year.
