Sunflower Bank hired Bo Scott as executive vice president and chief banking officer. In this role, Scott is based at Sunflower Bank’s headquarters in Dallas and oversees the strategy, management and growth of its middle market efforts in all regional markets.

“We’re excited to have Bo Scott’s experience and leadership on board as chief banking officer,” Neal Arnold, CEO and president of Sunflower Bank, said. “We have great teams across all of our markets. Bo will partner with our regional business leaders and Brian Walsh, our chief lending officer and managing director of commercial sales, to leverage our banking expertise and relationship management approach to further grow our commercial business in our Southwestern and Western markets and bring the best client experience everywhere we serve.”

Scott has over 25 years of banking and financial institution experience and was most recently president and chief banking officer for a Denver-based organization. His previous experience includes leading Colorado commercial banking at a mid-size regional bank and managing multiple West Coast markets for the emerging business division of a national bank. Scott is a U.S. Army veteran having served four years including tours in Haiti and Bosnia.

“Joining Sunflower Bank presents a fantastic opportunity to enhance and expand the bank’s middle market commercial banking franchise throughout our entire footprint,” Scott said. “Sunflower Bank is already established in some of the most significant MSAs in the Southwestern and Western U.S., providing our organization substantial opportunities for future growth and expansion.”
