克里斯•福尔摩斯

总裁兼首席执行官

克里斯•福尔摩斯 was named President of 世界赌博十大网站 in 2012 and CEO in 2013 as part of a planned transition of the bank’s executive leadership.

While his career has included working with banks in several countries around the world, his global view of economics includes an understanding that banking is driven by local needs and providing individual service to customers. Originally from Lexington, 田纳西州, Chris has a background in both rural communities and urban metro centers that is uniquely suited for leadership at 世界赌博十大网站.

In 2018, 世界赌博十大网站 purchased 14 retail branch locations from Atlantic Capital Bank, which further increased the Bank’s presence in the Knoxville, Chattanooga and North Georgia markets.

Most recently, executed a merger agreement with Franklin Synergy Bank (FSB).  The combination of the two banks, resulted in 世界赌博十大网站 becoming the third largest headquartered bank in 田纳西州 with $11 billion in assets.  The merger also significantly enhanced 世界赌博十大网站’s operations in the Nashville MSA, advancing the Bank’s deposit market share to #6 in Nashville, #1 in Williamson County and #2 in Rutherford County.

Prior to joining 世界赌博十大网站 in 2010 as Chief Banking Officer, Chris served as the Director of Corporate Financial Services and the Chief Retail Banking Officer for Greenville, S.C.-based South Financial Group. 以前, he worked for 20 years in the Memphis-area market, first with EY and then in several management positions for National Bank of Commerce, which was acquired by SunTrust, and Trustmark National Bank.
