Synovus Deepens Agribusiness Focus with New Agriculture and Timber Team<\/b><\/p>\n

COLUMBUS, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSynovus Bank today announced the launch of a new agriculture and timber team, with an initial focus on the production, agribusiness, and timber segments of the industry south of the Fall Line in Georgia, and additional coverage in northwest Florida and southeast Alabama.\n<\/p>\n

\nResiding in Synovus\u2019 community banking division, the team includes agriculture industry and banking veterans Clint Hood, Kimberly Powell, Anita Hatfield, and Jo Creel, all of whom joined the bank last week, and Synovus agribusiness banker, Andy Thompson.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAgriculture is one of the largest industries in Synovus\u2019 footprint and a major source of economic growth and development in many communities we serve,\u201d said Wayne Akins, Synovus chief community banking officer. \u201cBy combining the resources of a large regional financial institution with industry expertise, local knowledge, and the close-to-market execution of a community bank, we are confident this new agribusiness team will be an important source of value creation for Synovus and a growing number of agriculture and forestry customers in our footprint. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to welcome Clint, Kimberly, Anita, and Jo to Synovus.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nA 32-year banking veteran, Hood has extensive credit and risk expertise in the agribusiness and timber industries and serves on the boards of the Georgia Agribusiness Council, Georgia FFA Foundation, and the University of Georgia Ag Alumni Association. He was previously with Wells Fargo, which he joined in 2013. Hood resides on his farm in Dublin, Georgia.\n<\/p>\n

\nPowell has nearly 25 years of banking experience, including C&I, CRE, and agribusiness lending. She was previously with Wells Fargo, where she managed an extensive portfolio of timber processors, agriculture processors, and row crop farmers. Powell is a graduate of the University of Georgia and lives in Butler, Georgia.\n<\/p>\n

\nHatfield is a 20-year banking veteran with extensive experience in credit analysis and underwriting. She was previously with Wells Fargo, where she was the primary analyst\/underwriter for agriculture loans underwritten in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Hatfield graduated from Troy University and resides in Ozark, Alabama.\n<\/p>\n

\nCreel has more than 20 years of banking experience, including as agriculture team relationship manager with Wells Fargo, where she was previously employed. Creel is a graduate of Georgia Southwestern and lives on her farm in Blakely, Georgia.\n<\/p>\n

\nSynovus has had a meaningful agriculture banking practice for more than 30 years, including row crops and related processing activities. The new team extends the bank\u2019s coverage of timber and other segments, improving its position for profitable growth in the agribusiness industry.\n<\/p>\n

Synovus Bank<\/b>, a Georgia-chartered, FDIC-insured bank, provides commercial and retail banking, investment, and mortgage services together with its affiliates through 289 branches in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee.
