BankSouth is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephanie Brown as Relationship Manager at the bank’s newest offices located at 990 Hammond Drive, Sandy Springs. Stephanie brings extensive knowledge and depth as a commercial lender and mortgage banker from positions held in Georgia and Tennessee.

With more than 12 years of diverse experience serving the needs of commercial customers, Stephanie is well equipped to support BankSouth’s exciting new venture to enter markets outside its strong roots in Greene County Georgia dating back nearly a century. BankSouth, headquartered in Greensboro at Lake Oconee, currently has offices in Greene and Oconee counties as well as another new office recently opened in Athens-Clarke County. The Sandy Springs office is adjacent to the headquarters of BankSouth Mortgage on Hammond Drive. BankSouth Mortgage, a wholly owned subsidiary of BankSouth, has offices in eight Georgia cities and serves a wide area of the southeast.

“Our dynamic alliance with Kim Nelson, CEO of BankSouth Mortgage and her team of top notch mortgage lenders, has afforded us this exciting opportunity to begin offering shared customized financial services to niche markets outside our traditional footprint and we’re confident that Stephanie Brown will be warmly received by our joint customers,” said Harold Reynolds, CEO of BankSouth. “At the same time, we will continue to uphold our legacy of quality, tenured stability and local community involvement in the Georgia home towns we proudly serve. Our vision of success is not measured in months or years past but in generations to come.”
