First Tennessee to promote Pam Fansler to chairman, Dave Miller to president for East Tennessee region
November 21 2016 - 7:00AM
Pam Fansler, whose banking career in Knoxville has spanned more
than four decades, will become chairman of First Tennessee Bank’s
East Tennessee region as Dave Miller, executive vice president of
consumer banking, moves into Fansler’s position as region
president. The changes will take place March 1 as Fansler
prepares to retire in July.
“Pam Fansler has been the face of First Tennessee in Knoxville
for 15 years, and she will continue to provide community
leadership, mentoring and business development as she works with
Dave Miller on his transition into her former role,” said David
Popwell, president of banking for First Tennessee’s parent company,
First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN). “Pam and I carefully
considered which of the talented bankers on our team could best
fill the president’s role and carry on the strong First Tennessee
traditions in East Tennessee. Dave Miller was the obvious
choice to fill this important position.”
During his 22-year career with First Tennessee Miller, 46, has
held leadership roles in marketing and corporate strategy and
investor relations, where he earned national honors from IR
Magazine and Institutional Investor. As the executive
overseeing First Tennessee’s retail, private client and wealth
management teams and digital and consumer product strategy, he has
been a member of the company’s 15-member Executive Management
Committee.
Miller has been active in the Memphis community, having served
on the boards of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis,
United Way, the Better Business Bureau, Families Matter, the
Community Foundation of Greater Memphis and the First Tennessee
Foundation. He is a native of Buffalo, N.Y., and earned a
degree in physical sciences from Harvard University. He and
his family will complete their move to Knoxville in the next few
weeks.
Fansler, 64, joined First Tennessee – actually the former Valley
Fidelity Bank, which First Tennessee acquired – in 1976. She
was named president of First Tennessee in Knoxville in 2003.
Under her leadership the Knoxville bank has grown deposits by 50
percent, and First Tennessee has been voted Best Bank by readers of
the Knoxville News Sentinel for 16 years in a row. She was
named president of the East Tennessee region in 2011.
Like Miller, Fansler strongly believes in giving back to the
community. She was the 2011-2012 United Way of Greater
Knoxville campaign chair. She has served on the boards of
Covenant Health, the Knoxville Symphony, the Knoxville Area Chamber
Partnership, the Central Business Improvement District, Leadership
Knoxville, YMCA of East Tennessee, Girl Scouts of Tanasi Council
and Friends of Literacy. She also served as a Knoxville
Chancellor’s Associate for the University of Tennessee and a member
of the Tennessee Board of Regents.
She is a graduate of East Tennessee State University, the
Southeastern School of Banking and the LSU Graduate School of
Banking and participated in The Wharton School executive
development program.
