NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pinnacle Financial Partners has released its 2020 Annual Report, summing up the firm’s efforts to help clients, associates, shareholders and the communities it serves navigate through the challenges of 2020, as well as the results achieved for all stakeholders. The report illustrates the close relationship between Pinnacle’s well-known and nationally recognized internal culture, its business model and its philosophy of doing the right thing by showing how they worked in concert to respond to the various crises of the year.
In their message to shareholders, Pinnacle President and CEO Terry Turner and Chairman Rob McCabe said:
We’ve always believed that good decisions for people are also good decisions for business. 2020 was the ultimate test of that philosophy. How did we perform? In my opinion, we aced it. How did we do it in the face of an economic crisis spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic? How did our associates pull so many wins out of one of the most challenging years our country has faced? The same way we’ve built the firm since 2000. Focus on people. Make personal connections. Do the right thing.
Take all of that together, measure it against our people-first philosophy and examine the results: We survived, we thrived, and we helped our clients do the same. This isn’t the finish line, but we feel we’re ahead in the final stretch. And when COVID is in the rearview mirror, we feel Pinnacle will be in the pole position for what comes next. We’re already back on offense, aggressively going after more market share and more of the best bankers in our markets.
The 2020 Annual Report includes a complete timeline of Pinnacle’s 2020 response, accounting for activities related to the pandemic, the related economic downturn, nationwide calls for racial justice and the tornado and bombing in Nashville, TN, Pinnacle’s home city.
