Loraine V. Dexter
Senior Vice President, Management Reporting
Mutual of Omaha Bank
Loraine Dexter brings 27 years of experience in the banking industry to Mutual of Omaha Bank. Since joining the organization in 2005, she has been responsible for business line profitability reporting, periodic forecasts and the annual planning process. In addition, she has been responsible for the cost accounting process that supports all aspects of management reporting. In 2007, Dexter implemented integrated profitability reporting using SAS for customers, products and organizations.
Dexter began her financial career in 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona with Western Savings and Loan Association. Her focus on management reporting started in 1984 as a cost analyst for Security Pacific Bank in Los Angeles, California. In 1986, she moved back to Phoenix and joined Valley National Bank, which subsequently merged with Bank One in 1992. In 1994, Dexter left the banking industry to work as a product manager with Sendero Corporation, building profitability reporting systems, but was lured back to Bank One in 1995 where she implemented an enterprise management reporting system. Upon Bank One's merger with First Chicago NBD, she was a key resource on a team to convert to the SAP management reporting system used post-merger. After completion of the project, she managed the Financial Planning and Analysis organization of the Home Equity Lending business prior to and after the merger with JPMorganChase.
Dexter is a graduate of Iowa State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Administration with an emphasis in Finance.
