We were honored to welcome the distinguished Veterans and business builders who have been recognized by the Texas Business Hall of Fame to our headquarters at Old Parkland East Campus for the 2026 Veteran Forum.

Hosted by our Chairman and CEO, Sam L. Susser, the day brought together an exceptional group of leaders whose experiences continue to shape the trajectory of business and leadership across Texas. We were privileged to spend time with Hall of Fame Legends Ken Fisher, Jack Martin, and David Miller, alongside Michael Gorton, Board Member of the Texas Business Hall of Fame.

The conversations throughout the day reflected a shared commitment to long-term planning, aligning strategy with culture and focusing on the rapidly changing business landscape.

At Susser Bank, we believe meaningful relationships, culture and continuous learning are foundational to long-term success. We are proud to support the Texas Business Hall of Fame and its mission to connect, recognize and inspire the next generation of Texas business leaders.

Our Chairman and CEO, Sam L. Susser, hosts a quarterly Playbook Session for all new team members. In this full-day gathering, Sam shares the bank’s vision and mission, which is built on the Susser family’s six-generation entrepreneurial journey.

During a recent session, team members spent two hours introducing themselves, sharing their professional backgrounds, a little about their families, and something about themselves that no one else in the room knew. The session concluded with a review of the Susser Playbook, during which our team members read multiple sections aloud and actively engaged in discussions on key topics.

At Susser Bank, we absolutely believe culture eats strategy for breakfast, and the only way to build it is to “walk the talk” each and every day.

Susser Banc Holdings Corporation, the parent company of Susser Bank, announced it has redomiciled from Maryland to Texas, effective February 19, 2026.

The move formally aligns the company’s corporate governance with its Texas-based banking franchise, client base and long-term growth strategy.

“Our family began doing business in Texas around 1860, where our relationships run deepest and where we see tremendous opportunity ahead,” said Sam L. Susser, Chairman and CEO of Susser Bank. “Aligning our corporate domicile with our headquarters region reflects both our heritage and our confidence in the state’s long-term economic trajectory. Texas continues to lead the nation in attracting businesses, entrepreneurs and investment at a remarkable pace, and we are proud to support the individuals and companies driving that momentum. We are grateful to Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives Dustin Burrows and the many state and local leaders whose focus on economic development, sensible policy and a pro-business environment fosters opportunity. As the state expands its role as a national economic engine, Susser Bank remains committed to serving the businesses, families and communities shaping its future.”

The redomicile does not change the company’s leadership, strategy or daily operations.

Susser Bank announced the appointment of Christopher (Chris) Hall as Director of Technology Banking, based in the bank’s Austin office. In this role, Hall will lead the Technology Banking team and partner with high-growth technology companies to provide strategic capital solutions and advisory support, reinforcing Susser Bank’s commitment to Texas’s rapidly expanding technology sector.

“Texas is a dynamic center for innovation, home to rapidly scaling technology companies, and these businesses are increasingly shaping markets nationally,” said Mark Metcalfe, EVP and Central Texas President. “Chris’ deep expertise in technology banking and strategic capital solutions positions him to help clients in Texas and worldwide navigate complex financial challenges and capture growth opportunities. His leadership reinforces our commitment to building long-term, trusted partnerships wherever our clients operate.”

With more than 15 years of experience, Hall has a proven track record of structuring financial solutions, advising portfolio companies, and collaborating with institutional investors. Prior to joining Susser Bank, he served as Principal at Arrowroot Capital, co-leading the firm’s private credit strategy and partnering with institutional investors on strategic fund initiatives.

Earlier in his career, Hall gained broad experience across SaaS, tech-enabled services, and healthcare companies through roles at leading private equity firms, credit funds and large corporate banks, extending credit and advising on investment diligence, financial modeling, market analysis, and strategic initiatives to drive growth.

Hall holds an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business, and a BBA from Emory University, where he concentrated in Finance and Accounting and co-founded the Alternative Investments Group.

Chris Hall commented: “Technology companies in Texas, and nationally, are scaling at an unprecedented pace, and their financial needs are evolving just as quickly. My priority is to provide strategic guidance and flexible capital solutions that allow these businesses to execute their vision, mitigate risk and grow sustainably. At Susser Bank, we’re building capabilities to support innovative companies across the state, helping them reach their next stage of growth.”

Susser Bank has appointed Effie Dennison as Executive Director of Strategic Growth and Corporate Partnerships, a new leadership role supporting the bank’s continued growth across Texas and its commitment to the businesses and communities it serves. Dennison is recognized for building high-impact partnerships that expand access to capital and strengthen local economic opportunity.

Based at Susser Bank’s Dallas headquarters at the new Old Parkland East Campus, Dennison will work across all the bank’s markets statewide. In her role, she leads initiatives to advance growth through strategic partnerships, enhance community engagement, and align the bank’s enterprise strategy and brand with opportunities to expand our presence in the markets we serve.

“Susser Bank is at a point in its growth where scale, focus, and community engagement must move forward together,” said Carl Cravens, President and Chief Banking Officer of Susser Bank. “Effie brings the experience and perspective to help us grow intentionally, supporting our clients, strengthening our presence in key markets, and ensuring we remain a trusted partner in the communities where we do business.”

Dennison brings more than 25 years of experience in strategic growth and community development, with a track record of helping financial institutions expand their footprint while building strong relationships with civic leaders, nonprofit organizations, and corporate partners. She is known for connecting enterprise strategy, brand, and partnerships in ways that support long-term business objectives and measurable community outcomes.

Prior to joining Susser Bank, Dennison served as Managing Director and Head of Community Development & Corporate Responsibility at a well-known Texas-based bank, where she led statewide efforts across affordable housing, economic development, community investment, corporate philanthropy, and employee engagement.

“Susser Bank has built a strong culture grounded in local decision-making, accountability, and respect for the markets it serves,” said Dennison. “The opportunity ahead is to build on that foundation, working alongside a talented team to support growth that continues to benefit our clients while also advancing the strength, resilience, and prosperity of the communities where the bank operates. I am deeply committed to helping communities thrive and to contributing in meaningful ways across all Susser Bank markets.”

Dennison is an active civic leader and currently serves on the boards of The Family Place and Texas Women’s Foundation Alumna. She has received multiple honors for her leadership in corporate responsibility and community advocacy, including the Dallas Business Journal Minority Business Leader Community Advocate Award and Women Who Mean Business Award.

Susser Bank has appointed Jerret Krouse as San Antonio Market President, a significant leadership addition that underscores the bank’s continued investment in high-growth Texas markets. Krouse will lead Susser Bank’s strategic expansion across the region, deepening client relationships and aligning the bank’s capabilities with the evolving needs of businesses and entrepreneurs throughout San Antonio.

This appointment reflects Susser Bank’s long-term commitment to building a premier banking franchise grounded in relationships, responsiveness and community partnership.

“San Antonio is a priority market for Susser Bank, and our growth strategy demands leadership that combines market insight with disciplined execution,” said Sam L. Susser, Chairman and CEO of Susser Bank. “With more than 20 years of professional leadership experience, Jerret is an accomplished banking executive known for cultivating trusted relationships, building exceptional teams and delivering results with integrity. His leadership strengthens our ability to serve clients at the highest level while expanding our presence in one of the most economically vibrant regions in Texas.”

In his role, Krouse will oversee commercial banking efforts across the San Antonio region, champion talent development, and foster partnerships that support long-term economic growth. His leadership will play an integral role as Susser Bank continues to walk the talk and build the bank to last, not to sell.

“The Susser team has built a distinctive culture centered on relationships, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the communities it serves,” said Krouse. “The opportunity to lead in a market as dynamic as San Antonio, alongside a team that prioritizes clients and long-term partnerships, is incredibly compelling. I look forward to building on the bank’s strong foundation and helping businesses and communities thrive.”

Krouse previously held senior leadership roles guiding business banking and middle market teams, where he was instrumental in expanding client coverage, strengthening performance and enhancing the overall client experience. He also led market-facing initiatives focused on community engagement and building strategic partnerships, experience that positions him to further elevate Susser Bank’s presence across the region.

He began his banking career supporting public finance, commercial banking, credit analysis, and branch operations, establishing a comprehensive understanding of client needs, operational excellence and market dynamics that continues to inform his leadership approach.

Krouse holds a Master of Public Administration and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, graduating Summa Cum Laude and earning membership in multiple national honor societies.

A dedicated civic leader, Krouse has served in leadership capacities with numerous nonprofit and service organizations and remains actively engaged in initiatives that strengthen regional prosperity. He currently serves as a Civic Leader with the U.S. Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command and as an Honorary Commander for the 319th Training Squadron, reflecting an enduring commitment to service.

Our first Quarterly Business Review of the year brought leaders from across all our markets together around a simple but powerful theme: Execution. Because as Carl Cravens, President and Chief Banking Officer, put it, the mountain doesn’t reward climbers with great potential…it rewards execution.

Day one grounded us in the fundamentals. As we reflected on 2025, we also looked ahead, discussing how disciplined growth, thoughtful strategy and deep client relationships will continue to define our path forward. We were grateful to learn from Dan Hajdu, Director, Derivatives Products Group, PNC, and Chelsea Rheam, Senior Associate, Derivatives Products Group, PNC, who led a productive discussion on interest rates and swaps in an evolving market environment.

Day two pushed us into what’s next. Alex Treece, Co-Founder & CEO of Stablecore, and Jessi Goostree, Executive Director of the Texas Blockchain Council, sparked a dynamic conversation on digital assets, stablecoin and the implications for financial institutions committed to learning and navigating a new world of payments, currency and business models that will impact all businesses.

We also took time to recognize excellence within our own team. Congratulations to Tim Caperton, MBA, Senior Vice President, Senior Relationship Manager for our Austin market, who was recognized for his outstanding performance to date. His leadership and commitment to our clients exemplify the standard we strive for across the bank.

And because strong teams are built both in and out of the boardroom, we capped it off with an evening at Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, a little friendly competition, a lot of laughs and a great reminder that connection fuels performance.

Grateful for the thoughtful dialogue, the energy and the shared commitment to building a bank that continues to innovate, adapt and deliver for our clients, setting the tone for 2026 and beyond.
