Larry Vinyard and Scottie Neil
Pinnacle Financial Partners has hired two experienced financial services professionals to accelerate its expansion in the Chattanooga market.
Lawrence M. “Larry” Vinyard will serve as office leader of Pinnacle’s second Chattanooga office, and Scottie Neil will serve as a financial advisor.
The new office, which will be at 6180 Shallowford Road, is slated to open at the end of the year.
“Larry and Scottie will be excellent additions to the Pinnacle team as we continue to grow in Chattanooga,” said R. Ryan Murphy, area manager for Pinnacle’s client services group. “I am confident they will bring innovative and efficient banking solutions to their clients along with distinctive service and effective advice.”
Mr. Vinyard brings 13 years of banking experience to Pinnacle and most recently served at FSGBank as a business banker. Prior to FSG, he worked at Regions and Wells Fargo.
Ms. Neil has 16 years of banking experience, most recently at Bank of America as a senior small business banker.
Mr. Vinyard and Ms. Neil will work out of Pinnacle’s downtown office at 801 Broad St. until the new office is complete.
“We look forward to serving businesses and individuals in the Chattanooga community with the added convenience of a larger footprint as we prepare to open one new office per year over the next four to five years,” Mr. Murphy added.
