“We are tremendously pleased that Bill is joining our board of directors,” said FB Financial Executive Chairman James W. Ayers. “His addition will expand our board’s depth of expertise and ensure that we continue to deliver the best results for our shareholders. His wealth of knowledge and experience in healthcare, the practice of law and leadership of a publicly traded company will be great resources for FB Financial as we continue to expand our footprint, increase our market share and bring excellence to our operations.”

In addition to his experience at LifePoint, Carpenter has served on the boards of directors of the American Hospital Association, the Federation of American Hospitals and the Nashville Health Care Council.
