First Bank Welcomes New Chief Credit Officer

First Bank has proudly named Larry Jackson as its new Chief Credit Officer, effective as of April 2025. This strategic appointment aims to enhance the bank's leadership as it continues to grow and provide exceptional service to its customers. Jackson will be based at the bank's Greensboro office, situated at 101 N Spring Street.

With over 21 years of significant experience in the financial services industry, Larry Jackson comes to First Bank from PNC, where he most recently held the position of Market Credit Executive. His extensive background in credit risk management makes him a valuable asset to the bank's team.

Adam Currie, the CEO of First Bank, expressed enthusiasm about Jackson's appointment. He stated, "We are incredibly excited to welcome Larry Jackson to First Bank's leadership team. Larry's deep expertise in credit risk management, strong leadership skills, and high character will be instrumental as our bank continues to grow. We are excited about his homecoming to the Carolinas."

Currie also took a moment to acknowledge Mike Brower’s contributions, who has established a remarkable credit culture at First Bank over the past decade. As Brower prepares for his retirement later this fall, the bank is poised for a smooth transition into this new phase with Jackson at the helm.

Expressing his own excitement about the role, Jackson said, "I am very excited about the opportunity to work alongside this leadership team in continuing to grow a phenomenal community/regional bank. It's truly rare to find a financial services firm that aligns so closely with my own personal values in how we approach the market and our customers. I look forward to contributing to First Bank's continued success."
