Some leaders open doors—and some build them. Bernard Bermudez is that kind of leader.
As Senior VP, Relationship Manager at MidFirst Bank, Bernard plays a key role in helping businesses and nonprofits grow throughout Southern Nevada. But what makes him truly remarkable is how deeply he invests in the people and community around him.
- From launching mentor programs for teens at the Boys & Girls Club
- To serving on boards like YMCA Of Southern Nevada, AAPI Chamber, REED College Readiness Program, Clark County County Business Development Advisory Council, and Vegas Tech Summit—advancing inclusive economic growth
- To committing to annual international trips with his wife and daughters: making intentional memories, now, not “someday”
Bernard brings purpose to everything he touches. He’s a master connector, a thoughtful leader, and a champion for inclusive growth.
And personally? He’s one of my biggest supporters: believing in my photography business when it was still in its early days. Capturing him now, in the very room where he helps shape futures, is a full-circle moment I’m deeply grateful for.
Bernard, thank you for showing us what it means to lead with both strategy and heart.
