Jake Groat

I’m a finance and real estate professional passionate about building efficient, forward-thinking operations that drive growth and long-term value. Currently serving as Vice President of Operations & Compliance for Corporate Real Estate at City National Bank, I lead large-scale projects, oversee enterprise risk strategies, and help connect business goals with practical, scalable solutions.

 

Alongside my role, I’m completing my MBA at Pepperdine University, where I continue refining my approach to leadership, strategy, and innovation. I’m driven by a simple goal, to create systems and spaces that work smarter, perform better, and make a meaningful impact for the people and businesses they serve.
