Greg Becker
President & CEO of Silicon Valley Bank
Greg Becker has been a champion of the innovation economy since he joined SVB in 1993 as a banker to fast-growing technology companies. Today, he is the president and CEO of the world’s only financial institution dedicated to the innovation sector around the globe. Becker has led the expansion of the company, now the nation’s 14th largest bank, to include four primary businesses serving the innovation sector: commercial banking, fund management, private banking and wealth management, and investment banking.
Under Becker’s leadership, SVB has continued to outpace the growth rate of other banks and financial services providers. SVB joined the S&P 500 in 2018 and has been named one of the best banks in America, one of the fastest growing public companies in the US, and one of the best places to work. SVB has been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the last four years and is consistently among the Top Corporate Philanthropists in its headquarters’ region. Working with employees, clients, and partners, Becker has also prioritized investments and initiatives to increase diversity and inclusion at SVB and across the larger innovation ecosystem, foster economic development and support community well-being.
Prior to taking on the SVB President and CEO role in 2011, Becker held a variety of leadership positions, including co-founding SVB Capital, which manages some of the world’s top-rated venture fund-of-funds and direct investment funds.
Becker is a Class A Director for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Chairman of TechNet, and a member of the executive council of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG), where he was the Chairman from 2014-2017. He serves on the One Mind at Work Guiding Council and was a member of the US Department of Commerce’s Digital Economy Board of Advisors from 2016-2017. Becker earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Indiana University.
