“I’m excited to step into this new role and expand how I am able to deliver for my clients,” said Underwood. “I look forward to the ability to be more hands-on in providing solutions, whether that means structuring a mortgage, helping a business secure capital, or simplifying someone’s personal banking. I’m grateful to be part of a team that prioritizes relationships and empowers us to grow so we can better serve the evolving needs of our customers.”
