Member Profile
Shane Sapp, vice president and operations/IT officer at Community Banking Company of Fitzgerald, has a unique journey that led him to a successful career in banking. With a background in technology, he spent the first decade of his professional life in technology-focused roles. It was a friend, now the CEO, who saw potential in his technical expertise and offered him a position at the bank. Intrigued by the opportunity to learn the banking world from the ground up at a smaller organization, Sapp made the leap and hasn't looked back in his 16-year tenure at the bank.
