Sherri Combs is a dynamic, results-driven executive whose career has been defined by her ability to transform complexity into clarity, and stagnation into growth. With over two decades of experience across banking, operations, project management, and community development, Sherri is a masterful strategist and natural problem solver who thrives in high-stakes environments. Her impact has spanned Fortune 500 financial institutions, high-growth operations, and nonprofit health initiatives—always with an eye toward measurable results, operational efficiency, and community engagement.
Most recently serving as a Private Bank Officer at Frost Bank in Mansfield, Texas, Sherri has quickly made her mark by establishing a brand-new market presence through authentic community connection. In just six months, she built a $30 million portfolio—funding over $8 million in commercial loans, securing $20 million in deposits, and bringing in $5 million in assets under management. Beyond the numbers, Sherri is passionate about empowering others, as evidenced by her leadership of a successful community event for influential women, reinforcing Frost Bank’s presence and purpose.
Previously, as Assistant Vice President and Private Client Banker at J.P. Morgan Chase, Sherri was consistently ranked among the top 1% of bankers nationwide, recognized as a National Achiever. Her portfolio included more than 500 high-net-worth clients with a combined balance exceeding $1.5 billion. She specialized in serving business owners across the legal, medical, healthcare, and food manufacturing industries, earning a remarkable 70% asset penetration rate. Sherri’s approach to client relationships is rooted in strategic planning, active listening, and follow-through—qualities that led her to average one business loan or line of credit closing per week, all while maintaining a 100% customer satisfaction rating. While at Chase, she came up with an idea for the bank app and submitted a wire-framed idea for an end-user application. She helped in the design implementation, training, and end-user application. It was a pretty big deal at the time—it beta tested off the charts and is still in use today.
Sherri’s operational leadership experience is equally compelling. At ECI Management Company, she led a failing operation through a full transformation—turning it into a high-performance, profitable unit with a 300% increase in sales, 5-year contract renewal, and less than 1% employee turnover. Her ability to standardize training, optimize inventory and budgeting systems, and implement sustainable wellness initiatives speaks to her deep knowledge of both people and process. She successfully scaled these improvements across multiple locations, proving her strategies were not only effective but replicable.
