Coast Savings Names New Chief
From a Times Staff Writer
Robert L. Hunt II has been promoted to president and chief operating officer of Coast Savings Financial Inc. and its main subsidiary, Coast Federal Bank, the Los Angeles company said Monday.
Hunt, 42, replaces Ray Martin as president. Martin, who continues as the company’s chairman and chief executive, had assumed the added title in December, 1991, after Gerald Barrone retired. Barrone had also been the chief operating officer, a position left vacant until Hunt’s appointment.
Hunt, who was hired at Coast in 1983, has been the company’s chief financial officer since 1985 and has supervised the division responsible for planning, accounting, investments and other bank functions. Two years ago, he was named to the board of directors.
