Oil and Gas Investor
Tim Brendel, senior vice president and oil and gas segment leader
Tim Brendel, Houston-based senior vice president and oil and gas segment leader for Associated Bank, was at Union Bank of California during the 2008-2009 cycle. Bank regulators are not dealing with an overall financial recession this time, he said. “Back in 2008-2009, they had bigger fish to fry; we’ve noticed a bit more of a spotlight on the oil and gas industry during this cycle.”
