Pinnacle recruits wealth manager

Regions veteran comes with music biz connections

Pinnacle Financial Partners has recruited a senior wealth advisor from Regions Bank for its West End Avenue office.

Matt Little has joined Pinnacle as a senior vice president and financial advisor. He has 17 years of experience at Regions Bank and the former First American, where he most recently worked at the Regions/Morgan Keegan Private Banking Division on Music Row.

Little holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and economics from Lipscomb University. He is a member of the Country Music Association, Nashville Songwriters Association International and the National Academy of the Recording Arts and Sciences.

Pinnacle’s recruitment of Little is the second such hire in recent months for the 13-year-old bank. In September, the bank said it had brought on board 23-year Rutherford County veteran Kelvin Kennamer. Pinnacle also has recruited a number of experienced commercial bankers.
