Wells Fargo & Company announced that 12-year company veteran Megdy Khoury will lead Middle Market Banking in greater Portland as regional manager.

Khoury now oversees a local team of nine commercial banking experts who provide credit, treasury management, and deposit products to middle market companies with annual revenues of $20 million and higher. The group serves privately held companies through a localized lending approach to some of Portland’s largest and most-recognizable companies in food, beverage, agriculture, forest products, technology, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, distribution, and real estate.

“Megdy’s track record of forging new relationships, his deep knowledge of the Greater Portland market, and commitment to being on the customers’ side made him the perfect choice for the role,” said Ralph Hamm III, Oregon and Inland Northwest Division manager for Wells Fargo Middle Market Banking. “He exemplifies Wells Fargo’s dedication to putting customers first and helping businesses thrive during all economic cycles.”

Khoury joined Wells Fargo in 2006 as part of its relationship management-training program. He has held roles in Business Banking, Community Lending and Investments, and Middle Market Banking. He has served business and commercial customers in the Portland area throughout his career and has deep experience working with local industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and real estate.

Khoury serves on the Special Olympics of Oregon board. Previously, he served on the Hacienda Community Development Corporation executive board as treasurer. Khoury earned a bachelor’s degree from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, and an MBA from Duke University.

A Portland resident, Khoury is among more than 5,200 Wells Fargo employees who live, work, and support customers and communities in Oregon. In 2017, the company gave more than $3 million to Portland nonprofits and schools through corporate and foundation giving, including $1.5 million for community development projects. Local employees volunteered more than 46,300 hours in 2017.
