A Really Young Buck

For someone who is not yet 30, Chris Rolle has had an inordinate amount of life-altering happenings come his way.

The most recent was being named a senior vice president and the top executive for Branch Banking & Trust's Sarasota division, which has about $515 million in deposits. The unit's 65 employees that are spread across 11 branches in the county now report to Rolle, pronounced like the city in North Carolina.

A Tampa native, Rolle reports to Scott Greer, who was recently named president of BB&T's new Sarasota-based Southwest Florida region. That region, a result of BB&T's Aug. 14 regulatory-induced purchase of Colonial Bank, is comprised of Charlotte, Collier, Lee, Manatee and Sarasota counties. The region has about $2.1 billion in deposits.
