An Interview With Ashley Hill, Nashville Market President

你有什么故事?? Where did you grow up and have you always lived in Tennessee?
Yes, 我在纳什维尔出生长大, although I did defect for a few years and went to Auburn to college.

你是怎么进入银行业的?
大学毕业后, I was intrigued by the skill set and diversity of jobs within banking as well as I had a good friend’s father who was at the old Third National Bank in Nashville, and he invited me to apply to their management training program. Everything fell into place and I started with them in 1983.

How is the culture different at 世界赌博十大网站 compared to larger banks?
The 世界赌博十大网站 culture is very inclusive and multi-faceted so you are engaged with multiple areas of the Bank. That’s the thing I have enjoyed about community banking, in general, for most of my career. 

你最喜欢工作的哪一部分?
I thoroughly enjoy supporting and fostering my teammates, 看着他们在经验中成长, 专业知识和专业精神. 这么说可能有点老套, 作为银行家, I enjoy helping clients achieve their goals and dreams. 这当然是真的, 但最重要的是, I value the client relationships/friendships that have grown over the years and the personal and professional enrichment garnered through those relationships.

描述一个典型的一天在办公室.
像我们大多数人一样, you start out organizing your calendar for the day, addressing emails/texts/calls that have come in overnight, and then try to be positively proactive about planning the next few days’/weeks’ activities.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
野生动物管理官员或海洋生物学家.

What do you like best about being a community banker?
Foremost, it is all of the rewarding teammate and client relationships. And being involved in all areas of the Bank, as opposed to being pigeon-holed in one small segment.

As a Market President, what’s your vision for 世界赌博十大网站 in Nashville? 
Solid, sound growth to elevate 世界赌博十大网站 into a dominant market position, 同时丰富我们社区的生活, 客户和团队成员.

Describe your market area in three words from a banking perspective.
多样化，机会，增长.

How do you think 世界赌博十大网站’s local banking model gives customers more? 
We look first to the client relationship in all aspects, as opposed to just being the lowest loan rate or highest deposit rate. Our community banking level of service to the client is paramount in all we do. We guide our clients’ decision making process to insure their success and best interests are well-served.

What key volunteer or charitable organizations is 世界赌博十大网站 involved with in your market area either as a bank or as individuals?
纳什维尔交响乐团, 三角洲水禽基金会, 田纳西州中部基督教青年会, 纳什维尔市区伙伴关系, 中部地区青少年成就, 纳什维尔公共图书馆基金会, 运动中的后场, 美国心脏协会, Centerstone, 田纳西州中部的女童子军, 大道螺栓, 奇克伍德和英雄们.

田纳西州的纳什维尔以什么闻名?
Music, healthcare, higher education, parks/greenspace, Arts, hospitality, & professional sports (Titans, Predators, Nashville SC).

戴维森县有哪些主要城市?
纳什维尔,主要. But you also have everything from Goodlettsville to Bellevue to Brentwood. 

你最喜欢那里的生活是什么?
It is very centrally located with numerous diverse destinations within easy reach, so it is easy to be somewhere fun and adventurous within a very reasonable travel distance. The various local 现场音乐 opportunities and venues are a somewhat hidden treasure that locals tend to take for granted.

如果我们上你的车，放点音乐, what are some songs that would be on your playlist, CD或最喜欢的电台?
You’d quickly discover that I like diverse genres of music:

Red Dirt Country—Turnpike Troubadors, Tyler Childers, Cody Jinks

经典摇滚/当代-滚石乐队，披头士乐队，斯金尼德乐队，范·莫里森，巴菲特

Alt./Contemporary—The Black Keys, Coldplay, Lumineers, Avett Bros.诺拉·琼斯

New Wave—The Police, Bowie, Talking Heads, The Cars

If you could give your 20-year old self one piece of advice, 知道你现在知道的, 会是什么呢??
努力工作是无可替代的, 说话或行动之前先听, 保持平稳, 坚持到底, 随时随地寻找幽默, 表现出一些主动性.

Have you ever had a mentor who made a difference in your life? How so?
I can recount several who encouraged me to step up and take the initiative to do things outside of my comfort zone. And they delegated responsibilities to me and supported and guided me through the process. 鼓励和加强领导. 

你的人生座右铭是什么?
My family would say it is this one, because I use it frequently:

“真理不懂礼貌!”

但我也喜欢从电影中借用一些:

做你的未来.”(Caddyshack)

“保持冷静，一切都好!和“知识是好的。.——《十大正规网投信誉平台》

描述一下你的完美假期.
Anywhere in the outdoors with family and good friends. Lake, beach, hiking, 狩猎, fishing, 山, 现场音乐, 美丽的日出/日落都榜上有名.

你喜欢室内运动还是户外运动?
