April 26, 2023

DALLAS—The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has named Lorenzo Garza vice president in the banking supervision and regulation department.

Garza has spent 13 years at the Dallas Fed. In his new position, Garza will oversee a group responsible for contributing to the Fed’s risk, policy, and surveillance efforts by identifying and communicating industry and financial institution risk for the Eleventh District.

The information is gathered and used in monetary policy discussions. Risk specialist teams within the division also partner with examiners to supervise banks and surveil top emerging risks.

Garza has previously served as assistant vice president in the Banking Supervision Department at the Dallas Fed and as lead for the Federal Reserve System’s horizontal capital review of large banks and pandemic capital exam—a deeper assessment of large bank stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previously, Garza was a director of examinations at the Dallas Fed and held positions in the banking industry and the Board of Governors. In 2018, he was awarded the William Taylor Award, the Federal Reserve Board’s most prestigious honor for Banking Supervision.

Garza received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio, a master’s from Syracuse University and an MBA from New York University. Garza also completed an executive education program at Harvard Business School and the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking.
