[SouthState’s](https://www.southstatebank.com/personal) [John Corbett](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-corbett-b24a1813/) is among the most respected CEOs in the banking industry today. In this discussion with [Travillian’s](https://travilliangroup.com/) Head of Banking & Fintech, [Brian Love](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianlovesbanks/) and [GenOpp Capital Management’s](https://gen-opp.com/) CIO, [Joe Fenech](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-fenech-58631210/), Corbett recounts the story of his career, growing a De Novo community bank in central Florida two decades ago to the southeast regional force that SouthState Bank is today. Along the way, we gain insight into a managerial style that prioritizes innovative and creative thinking, teamwork, the importance of culture, the value of humility, “thinking big” while “acting small” and how to manage through a crisis and create opportunity, a particularly relevant topic in the current environment.
