Bank of Atlanta President and CEO John W. Jackson, who has nearly three decades of experience in the community banking business, presents the final spring lecture of the Terry Leadership Speaker Series. Headquartered in Midtown, Bank of Atlanta opened its doors in 2006 and added a second bank branch last summer in Gwinnett County at Sugarloaf Centre. Bank of Atlanta offers a full range of commercial and personal banking services to its customers, and as of June 30, 2008, the bank's assets totaled $224 million. Jackson has devoted his career to leadership in some of Atlanta's best-known middle-market banks. He spent 15 years with Bank South, specializing in retail banking, consumer, mortgage and commercial lending. In 1991, Jackson moved to SouthTrust, where he managed an $800 million loan portfolio as the head of metropolitan banking, and in August 2004 he was appointed the Jacksonville, Fla., regional CEO to help prepare SouthTrust for its acquisition by Wachovia. In December 2004, Jackson joined Atlanta Bancorporation, the holding company for Bank of Atlanta. A 1976 graduate of the Terry College, Jackson joined the Terry Dean's Advisory Council this past year and has served on the Carter Center's Board of Councilors.
