BEAUFORT, SC / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2016 / Coastal Banking Company Inc. (OTCQX: CBCO), the holding company of CBC National Bank, which operates branches in Beaufort and Port Royal, S.C., Fernandina Beach, Ocala, and The Villages, Fla., today announced that its board of directors has elected Charles Wagner president of the company and Thomas J.

Wagner has been president of CBC National Bank since June 2015 and directly oversees the bank’s mortgage division, human resources, information technology and operations, marketing, and strategic planning.

Michael G. Sanchez remains chief executive officer of both Coastal Banking Company Inc. and CBC National Bank, and chairman of both boards.

“The Coastal board’s management succession committee and governance committee spent 18 months planning the company’s management succession process before naming Charles Wagner president of CBC National Bank more than a year ago,” said Sanchez. “Since that time, Charles has continued to ably demonstrate the acumen and proven performance that led to our decision. Naming him president of Coastal Banking Company Inc. is a further step in the succession plan toward him assuming overall leadership of the company at the appropriate time.”

Flournoy recently joined Coastal as chief financial officer. He is a career banker with 35 years of community bank leadership of finance/accounting, audit and risk, operations and information technology teams.

“Tom Flournoy is a veteran chief financial officer who adds to the overall management strength of our company,” said Sanchez. “His deep experience, working in tandem with Charles Wagner, will serve as a valuable resource as we continue to focus on growing our company and enhancing shareholder value.”
