With more than 25 years of leadership experience in commercial banking across North Texas, he will oversee lending across the bank’s growing network of locations, working closely with commercial banking, commercial real estate, mortgage and consumer lending teams.
“Mark brings both the expertise and heart for community banking that aligns perfectly with our values,” says Zan Prince, chairman. “His leadership will be instrumental as we continue to expand our lending and related services while staying rooted in the personalized, relationship-based approach our clients trust.”
Drennan’s prior leadership experience includes roles as regional president for an $8-billion-asset community bank and various commercial banking roles with a mid-sized regional bank. A graduate of Texas Tech University and the Stonier National Graduate School of Banking at the University of Pennsylvania, Drennan is a Fort Worth native and longtime community advocate. He has served on the boards of Leadership Fort Worth and the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth and was named to the “Top 40 Under 40” and “Top 400 Business Leaders” lists by the Fort Worth Business Press.
