Simmons Bank said Thursday that it created two separate banking divisions — a community bank division and metro bank division — that will be led by Freddie Black and Chad Rawls, respectively.
Black has been promoted to chief community banking officer; Rawls has been promoted to chief metro banking officer.
"Simmons Bank was built on relationships and establishing community and metro divisions provides Simmons Bank more opportunity to make decisions on a local level, steward our customers and pursue scalable growth in new markets," Matt Reddin, Simmons Bank executive vice president and chief banking officer, said in a news release.
