Jason Ogg

As a Relationship Manager, Jason Ogg works with closely held and family businesses as a trusted partner and advisor to provide sound banking solutions. He works hard to solve clients’ needs and concerns and is committed to providing rapid responses while delivering exceptional service. Jason believes that in order to keep clients, you need to deliver on your promises, fulfill your commitments and continually invest in the quality of your relationships.

Jason grew up in a suburb North of Seattle, WA and began his banking career in 1995 at a regional bank in Seattle where he held various positions in consumer retail banking. After graduating from Oregon State University in 2000 with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, Jason relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he held a position in business banking, serving the southeast region. After five years of enjoying the sun and improving his golf handicap, Jason and his wife returned to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to family and pursue new opportunities.

In 2005, Jason became part of the initial team to join The Commerce Bank of Oregon. His role focuses on relationship building, credit quality, financial management, financial analysis and underwriting, and treasury management. Jason works closely with family owned businesses providing them with financial solutions that are tailored to their business needs. Since 2018, he has been a member of the management team responsible for sales management.

Jason is on the membership committee for Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition.

A typical Saturday for Jason includes AM cartoons with his three sons, followed by an array of sporting activities throughout the day, and finally, perhaps, getting away for dinner and a glass of wine with his wife in the evening.
