Franklin Synergy Bank has recruited longtime Brentwood banker Craig Roberts to be a senior vice president and commercial business banker.

Roberts is joining Franklin Synergy from Capital Bank, the former GreenBank acquired last year by a holding company now headquartered in Florida, and will work from the bank’s Maryland Farms office. He spent more than 11 years at GreenBank/Capital Bank and before that worked at SunTrust Bank.

"The Brentwood business community needs a business banker of Craig’s caliber, and Craig is a great addition to our team,” said Franklin Synergy President Richard Herrington. “We see Brentwood businesses growing and expanding; Craig’s experience with helping businesses access the capital they need to expand will be an invaluable resource in the community.” 

Roberts earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at Welch College in Nashville. He has served on the board of the Brentwood/Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce and is active with the newly created Williamson County Chamber of Commerce.

Five-year-old Franklin Synergy posted a third-quarter profit of $1.1 million and has an asset base of about $515 million.
