Home Bancshares and its subsidiary, Centennial Bank announced the election of Brian Davis as chief financial officer, treasurer and director of the holding company and bank by each respective board of directors, effective July 8. Davis will succeed Randy Mayor, who is retiring from banking after more than 16 years with the company.
Mayor is also retiring from his positions as a director of the Home Bancshares and Centennial. Davis previously served as chief accounting officer and investor relations officer for the company.
“I want to thank Randy (Mayor) for his many years of dedicated service to the company,” said John Allison, chairman of the board. “We are very grateful for his numerous contributions to the company’s success, his stewardship of our finance department, and his positive influences on our company culture and employees. I wish him the best of luck in retirement as he focuses his energy on pursuing his non-banking interests and spending time with his family.”
Davis has been with the bank for 11 years. Allison said his work during that time has been exemplary.
“He has been an integral part of our management team during the majority of our transformative events, including the company’s initial public offering in 2006, the company’s charter consolidation and 17 of our 18 acquisitions. This promotion is well deserved, and I look forward to working further with Brian as we execute our strategy to drive shareholder value,” Allison said.
Tracy French, CEO of Centennial Bank, said Davis is a “natural fit to lead our finance group.”
“It is an honor and privilege for me to succeed Randy as CFO and I congratulate him on his outstanding career,” Davis said.
The banking group also announced Jennifer C. Floyd will succeed Davis as the chief accounting officer and investor relations officer for the holding company. Floyd was also elected to the position of chief accounting officer of Centennial.
She recently joined the company after a 17-year career with Deloitte & Touche. While at Deloitte, Floyd served public and private financial institutions, as well as other financial service companies, as a senior manager in the audit practice.
