First Horizon Bank has promoted veteran Baton Rouge banker Michael Doerr to the role of Senior Vice President, Senior Commercial Banking Sales Manager. The announcement underscores the bank's continued investment in its commercial banking leadership across key southern U.S. markets, where regional banks are increasingly competing for middle-market business clients against both national megabanks and smaller community institutions.

Doerr brings decades of local commercial banking experience to the position. He joined First Horizon Bank and IBERIABANK in 2010, having previously served as a vice president in commercial banking for Whitney National Bank in Baton Rouge. IBERIABANK completed a merger of equals with First Horizon Corporation in 2021, creating one of the largest regional banks headquartered in the southeastern United States and expanding the combined entity's footprint across Louisiana and neighboring states.

"Mike's elevation to this role is a reflection of the experience, client focus and strategic guidance he brings to the Baton Rouge business community," said Craig Netterville, Executive Vice President and Baton Rouge Market President for First Horizon Bank. "With more than 30 years of commercial banking experience, he has consistently delivered service excellence and strong leadership, helping clients reach their financial goals."

A Baton Rouge native, Doerr earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Louisiana State University. Baton Rouge, home to one of the nation's largest port complexes and a major petrochemical and industrial corridor, has long been a competitive market for commercial lenders serving energy, manufacturing, logistics, and professional services firms.
