Red River Bank is planning an expansion into the New Orleans market and hired Meghan Donelon as its New Orleans market president.
A New Orleans native and Louisiana State University graduate, Donelon has a range of financial services experience in large markets, most recently in Dallas, and more than a decade in the New Orleans metropolitan statistical area.
“Over the past few years, we have seen increased opportunities to develop banking relationships in New Orleans,” Blake Chatelain, president and CEO of Red River Bank, said. “We are eager to have Meghan lead the bank’s expansion into Louisiana’s largest market. Her community banking mindset and vast experience in that region will be an asset to our organization and customers.”
“I am excited to lead the New Orleans expansion of the third largest Louisiana-based bank,” Donelon said. “Consumers and businesses alike will appreciate Red River Bank’s relationship-focused approach to banking, deep Louisiana experience and commitment to supporting local communities. Our exceptional customer service is complemented by today’s digital technologies, enabling Red River Bank to offer customers a host of products and services to meet their financial needs.”
