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.”
Ms. Knabb is a graduate of Lee University where she received her bachelor of arts in psychology, with a minor in business administration. Prior to her new position, Ms. Knabb served in a similar position at the banking center located in Harrison.
“Between the challenges we face with a pandemic and ongoing clean-up efforts of the recent tornadoes in the area, I have a strong calling to serve those who continue to face so much on a daily basis,” said Ms. Knabb. “Having strong relationships with clients is not only important to First Horizon, but to me personally. I look forward to being a part of a strong team of professionals in Ooltewah who share a desire to provide the best possible service and banking products for our clients.”
