CapStar Bank, a subsidiary of CapStar Financial, hired Richard Stone as senior vice president and market president in Rutherford and Williamson counties in Tennessee. In this role, Stone will lead business development and customer service initiatives across the region.
CapStar Bank currently has two locations in Brentwood, TN, and Murfreesboro, TN, and four commercial relationship managers to serve the area. The bank said it is poised to expand services and recruit additional bankers in 2022.
“With continued emphasis on the dynamic economic growth in Rutherford and Williamson counties, we are thrilled to welcome Richard to our leadership team,” Tom O’Connor, Middle Tennessee market president at CapStar Bank, said. “CapStar is focused on strategically hiring top talent and delivering an unparalleled level of customer service in a time when many regional banks are losing the ability to offer personalized attention. We are enthusiastic about our prospects, as we’ve assembled a strong team of bankers who are not only industry experts, but also understand the unique needs of these communities. Richard’s stellar reputation, energy and extensive experience will be a great addition as he works with our team to further grow our presence in the market.”
“CapStar is one of the most well-regarded and best positioned banks in Tennessee,” Stone said. “I am excited for the opportunity to expand the bank’s highly responsive and flexible business model across Rutherford and Williamson counties.”
Stone has more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. Before joining CapStar Bank, he most recently led Reliant Bank’s expansion into Rutherford County as market president. Previously, Richard worked in middle-market and specialized industry group banking with JPMorgan Chase and as senior vice president for Avenue Bank.
