The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco named Thomas C. Warren, an executive vice president and member of the bank’s management committee, as top officer at its Los Angeles branch.

The Los Angeles office is among the busiest of the 37 nationwide offices in the Federal Reserve System in terms of check processing and cash handling. The branch serves Southern California, Arizona and Las Vegas.

Warren’s background is in automation and financial institutions operations. He previously worked at Central Bank of San Francisco and Glendale Federal Savings & Loan.
