DALLAS, TX (April 16, 2025) – McDermott + Bull, the go-to executive search partner to empower change, has announced the continued expansion of its presence in Texas with Director Rachel Loye spearheading the growth in Dallas. As a senior member of the firm’s Financial Services Practice, Rachel will lead regional efforts across Texas, deepening client partnerships and furthering McDermott + Bull’s investment in one of the country’s most dynamic banking markets.
Texas remains one of the most economically resilient states in the nation, with a booming population, thriving commercial activity, and a business-friendly environment that continues to attract community and regional banks. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, serves as a strategic hub for this growth — making Rachel’s relocation a key part of McDermott + Bull’s long-term market strategy.
“Texas is not only a hub of financial innovation — it’s a relationship-driven, pro-business environment where decisions are made locally and reputations matter,” said Rachel. “Being on the ground allows us to support our clients more meaningfully and expand our reach across this critical region.”
Rachel’s move positions the firm to build deeper talent networks in-market and stay ahead of regional leadership trends shaping the financial sector in Texas. “Our clients depend on us not only to understand their business but to understand their market — and that means being present where they operate,” said Brandon Biegenzahn, President and Chair of McDermott + Bull’s Financial Services Practice. “Rachel’s move to Dallas marks a natural extension of our work across the West and strengthens our ability to support institutions in the Texas banking ecosystem.”
In her expanded role, she will continue to drive high-impact engagements and deliver executive search solutions to banks, credit unions, fintechs, and financial services organizations across the state — supporting clients navigating growth, innovation, and leadership transitions.
