Cathay General Bancorp names Diana Deen chief risk officer, succeeding Kim Bingham
Cathay General Bancorp said its Chief Risk Officer, Kim R. Bingham, retires effective January 21, 2025, and Diana Deen joins Cathay Bank as Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer on the same date. Deen will be a designated executive officer, and Bingham will serve in a transition role through about March 31, 2025, after which he will no longer be a designated executive officer.
