CIBC Innovation Banking is pleased to announce today that it is
opening a new office in Seattle, Washington to help support the
growth ambitions of the hundreds of existing and emerging start ups
in the area.
Leading the expansion effort in Seattle is John Flemming, who
joins the CIBC Innovation Banking North American team as a Managing
Director as the group looks to expand its presence in the greater
Pacific Northwest region.
Through this new office, CIBC Innovation Banking will look to
deliver its robust expertise in growth capital, advisory, and cash
management to innovation companies in the Seattle area, which has
seen record funding, hiring, and IPOs over the last few years.

during this exciting period of growth, and look forward to helping
to deliver its unique financial services capabilities to innovation
companies across the region as they look to scale their
businesses,” said John Flemming, Managing Director of CIBC
Innovation Banking’s Seattle office. “The start up ecosystem in
Seattle has seen an incredible economic boom in recent years, and
this new office opening signals our team’s commitment to supporting
the future advancement and acceleration of innovation in this
market.”
Flemming will bring his unique understanding of the market and
over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry –
with 15 of those in the tech banking sector – to the team at CIBC
Innovation Banking. Flemming joins from Wells Fargo, where he was
most recently Team Leader in the Pacific Northwest market for the
bank’s Middle-Market Technology Banking Group, focusing primarily
on client origination – extending debt financing, providing
treasury solutions, and placement of opportunities for the bank’s
Strategic Capital and Capital Markets teams.

Seattle office and bring the CIBC Innovation Banking brand and
product suite to the greater Pacific Northwest,” said Mark McQueen,
President & Executive Managing Director at CIBC Innovation
Banking. “John’s knowledge, experience, and track record will be
valuable to our team as we look to support the future growth of
this region’s longstanding technology ecosystem and continue to
build out across North America and overseas.”
Seattle marks the 13th office to open as the group continues its
strategic growth in key technology, life science, and cleantech
markets across North America, the UK, and select European
markets.
