Dale Gibbons, a former executive with Nevada State Bank's parent company, has been named chief financial officer of Western Alliance Bancorporation, the holding company for BankWest of Nevada.

Gibbons had been chief financial officer for Zions Bancorporation in Salt Lake City. He resigned in 2001 after being arrested on charges of drug possession and dealing in material harmful to a minor. He was acquitted of those charges in 2002.

BankWest is the seventh largest bank in Nevada with $611 million in deposits, the most current statistics from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. show. Western Alliance Bancorporation also operates banks in Phoenix, Tucson and San Diego.
