Franklin Synergy Bank recently launched a healthcare banking division after luring two key players away from CapStar bank. Former senior VPs with CapStar Tim Fouts and Lisa Fletcher have made the move to Franklin Synergy, along with two others from their team.

"We are pleased to launch our Healthcare Banking group at Franklin Synergy with this new team that brings experience and growth potential for our bank," said Richard Herrington, chairman and CEO of Franklin Synergy. "Healthcare is a primary driver of the economy in Middle Tennessee and a natural expansion of our scope of business lending activities."

Fouts had been at CapStar since before it opened its doors in the summer of 2008. Before that, he had worked at JPMorgan Chase as a senior VP and as a financial consultant at Merrill Lynch. Fletcher helped launch CapStar seven and a half years ago and before that worked at at FirstBank in Nashville and Adirondack Bank in Utica, NY.
