First Horizon Bank announced Kari Knabb as the new manager of its banking center in Ooltewah. 

The Ooltewah banking center is one of First Horizon’s largest branch centers by deposit size and is located in one of Hamilton County’s largest growth corridors.

"Over the last nine years, Ms. Knabb’s banking career has led her to this leadership role," officials said, "Clients and associates alike have come to rely on her for her solid experience in coaching, credit analysis, banking transactions and sales."  

“As we looked for strong leadership to serve one of the fastest growing areas of our market, we knew we would require someone who understands the needs of our clients and the community alike,” said market leader Jay Dale.

“Kari is the right fit for this position and we couldn’t be more pleased to have her in this role.”
