Trisha joins Blue Ridge Bank with over 15 years’ banking experience in the Upstate of South Carolina, with the past 13 years of experience in Oconee County. Trisha previously served as the Chief Credit Officer for a community bank which was acquired by an out-of-state bank. In her new role, Trisha will oversee the bank’s credit administration, lending policies, and portfolio management. Trisha succeeds Russ Williams who is retiring after a successful banking career.

Trisha is a graduate of Daniel High School, Clemson University and the ABA Stonier Graduate Banking School.

"I am truly honored to step into the role of Chief Credit Officer at Blue Ridge Bank,” stated Trisha. “Approaching nearly two decades in banking and having previously served as Chief Credit Officer supporting Oconee and Pickens counties, I deeply value the importance of keeping banking rooted in local communities and strong relationships. I am grateful for the confidence placed in me, and excited to work alongside the talented Blue Ridge team to build on its valued foundation and future growth. Together, we will continue delivering on the promise of ‘Banking the way it ought to be.'"

Blue Ridge Bank President & CEO, C. Kyle Thomas stated, “We are so incredibly fortunate to have a local banker, such as Trisha Warwick, assume the Chief Credit Officer role at Blue Ridge Bank. In the world of big out of state banks buying local community banks, Blue Ridge Bank is proud to be locally owned with decisions made right here at home.”
