FSGBank has hired two experienced executives to bolster its wealth management and trust division in the face of a tactical retreat by SunTrust in the market.
The $1.1 billion-asset Chattanooga-based FSGBank has added Cheryl Godwin, a 25-year veteran, and Teresa Whitton, a certified financial advisor with 20 years under her belt, the bank announced Monday.
“Cheryl and Teresa have a proven record of success in the Chattanooga market. and we couldn’t be more pleased that they have chosen to join FSGBank,” said First Security Group and FSGBank CEO Michael Kramer.
Along with Bart Rolen, recently hired director of wealth management and trust, and Criss McBride, a former SunTrust support specialist with a decade of wealth management experience, FSGBank is reinforcing its lineup to make inroads into the Chattanooga-area wealth management market, Kramer said.
Godwin formerly served as vice president and senior trust advisor at SunTrust, and Whitton managed the Chattanooga Wealth Advisory Center.
