Giachelli to lead operations as division president

Southern Bancorp Bank last month announced the promotion of Jason Giachelli to Division President. Giachelli has been with Southern Bancorp, a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), since 2007, most recently serving as a Market President in the bank’s Central Region, which includes locations in Arkansas and Mississippi.

“Jason has been a huge asset to Southern Bancorp and is truly committed to our mission of being wealth builders for everyone,” said Jeff Frazier, Central Region CEO. “He goes above and beyond to get our customers on the path to economic opportunity, and I look forward to the impact he will make throughout the Central Region as Division President.”

In his new role of Division President, Giachelli will oversee the CDFI’s operations in Canton, Madison, Hattiesburg, and Picayune, as well as its forthcoming Gluckstadt location, which is slated to open in Spring/Summer 2024.

Giachelli is an alum of Delta State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Business degree in Finance. He has also graduated from a number of banking schools in the Mid-South, including the Mississippi School of Banking and the Commercial Lending School in Little Rock.
