It's very small, but 1st Century Bank has gotten a fair amount of attention because it was started up by Alan Rothenberg, the lawyer and former World Soccer Federation President who is currently head of the L.A. Airport Commission. Anyway, the Century City-based bank has announced several senior-level changes that include the retirement of CEO Richard Cupp and the appointment of Jason DiNapoli as president and COO. Rothenberg, who is chairman, will assume the duties of CEO until a successor is named.
