In this episode, the guys are joined by Howard Bluver, Director at Studio Bank (TN) and Israel Discount Bank (NY). The depth and breadth of Howard’s professional experience serve as the foundation for a wide-ranging and engaging discussion. Howard discusses his “entry” into banking after obtaining a law degree and going to work with the Securities and Exchange Commission. From there, he shares the critical lessons he learned while working for the Office of Thrift Supervision during the Savings and Loan Crisis. He also discusses the value of being mentored during his time at GreenPoint Bank and the lessons that ultimately helped him turn around Suffolk County National Bank years later. Lastly, Howard shares some of his thoughts on the current state of New York City’s highly publicized multifamily real estate market and his outlook for institutions like New York Community Bank.
