Ross tabbed as new CB&S president

With its longtime president and chief executive officer Dennis Upchurch retiring at the end of this month, CB&S Bank announced Thursday that Mike Ross will be named to replace him effective upon Upchurch's retirement.

Ross, a native of Montgomery, joins CB&S Bank from Renasant Bank in Birmingham, where he served as Central Region President and Chief Commercial Officer. Ross led Renasant's retail franchise into Alabama and Florida as well as the bank's commercial strategy, lines of business and product lines that supported the bank's $8.8 billion in assets over five states.

Prior to joining Renasant Bank, Ross served as Executive Vice President and Commercial Middle Market Sales Executive with Regions Financial Corporation.

He has a Masters of Business Administration through the Executive Program of the Manderson Graduate School of Business at the University of Alabama.

On behalf of the board of directors of CB&S Bank, we welcome Mike to our organization. His extensive banking experience, along with his values-driven philosophy are a great combination and will fit well with our bank's culture,” said Greg Batchelor, Chairman of the Board for CB&S Bank.

CB&S Bank is a $1.6 billion community bank, headquartered in Russellville, with 55 branches across Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. The company offers full-service banking products and other related financial services to retail and commercial customers through its subsidiaries.

I am delighted and honored to have this opportunity to serve the customers, employees and shareholders of CB&S Bank. This company has such a long heritage of outstanding service to its communities and I look forward to being a part of continuing that tradition,” Ross said.

A reception honoring Upchurch is set for Friday, July 21, from 2-4:30 p.m., at the A.W. Todd Centre. The reception is open to the public.
