Most of the Sales Professionals that they recruited to Atlantic were former employees from McBee, whom they had hired and trained years ago. Jerry Savage was appointed President/CEO and Bill Baker assumed the duties of Executive Vice President/COO. In terms of their individual focus at Atlantic, Savage focuses on finance, human resources, sales recruitment, and bank relationship management.
