Capital City Bank has named Stuart Chandronnet as a commercial banker focused on serving the banking and lending needs of Leon County. Chandronnet will be based at the bank’s Wealth Office at 304 East Tennessee St. and will provide guidance, expertise and a range of commercial lending and treasury management services to businesses and developers in the area.

Chandronnet brings more than a decade of experience in the banking industry with expertise in commercial lending, credit analysis, relationship management and business development. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a minor in marketing from Flagler College and completed the Florida School of Banking in 2023.

He also chairs the finance committee at Deer Lake Church and leads the outdoor committee for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where he helps organize fundraising events such as fishing tournaments and pheasant shoots.

About Capital City Bank
Capital City Bank was founded in 1895 and is headquartered in Tallahassee. The bank offers a full range of consumer, wealth management, business and commercial banking services. Its holding company, Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCBG), is one of the larger publicly traded financial holding companies based in Florida, reporting about $4.4 billion in assets. The bank operates 62 banking offices and 107 ATMs/ITMs across Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
Industry context
The hiring comes amid broader shifts in regional banking activity. Recent transactions and expansion moves by other regional banks have increased physical branch presence in new markets and reinforced demand for local commercial lending teams able to support construction and development work. In one regional deal, a bank acquisition added multiple branch locations in the Florida Panhandle and the Big Bend area, a move described by executives as intended to provide both lending services and branch access in that market. That transaction also included retention of existing employees at the acquired bank.
The banking sector has seen debate about consolidation and the regulatory and tax treatment that affects different types of financial institutions. Industry groups and trade associations have highlighted concerns about acquisition trends, while others have questioned those points and urged a broader view of competition and outcomes for consumers. Federal agency staffing changes and deregulatory initiatives have also renewed conversations about how consolidation could evolve.
Local construction lending implications
For contractors, developers and property owners in Leon County, the immediate effect is expected to be improved access to tailored loan structures for construction and expansion projects. The bank’s local presence and a dedicated commercial banker with construction lending experience aim to shorten the path from project planning to financing, and to offer treasury management solutions that support ongoing operations during and after project completion.
This move is part of the bank’s long-term presence in the region and follows internal leadership and staffing shifts across the local banking landscape, which include changes in bank presidencies and other executive roles at area institutions.
