Pinnacle Financial Partners adds Jenny Trinh and Sara Doninger as Louisville growth continues

As Pinnacle Financial Partners continues to expand its presence in the Louisville market, the firm has added two experienced financial professionals whose backgrounds in business banking and treasury management will help support the growing needs of local businesses. The additions reflect Pinnacle's continued investment in Louisville, where the firm has attracted experienced bankers and advisors who share its commitment to relationship-based service and local decision-making.

"Louisville continues to be an important growth market for Pinnacle, and attracting talented people like Jenny and Sara is a big part of that story," said Tom Crockett, Pinnacle's regional president in Louisville. "Both have built strong reputations by taking care of clients, supporting their communities, and helping businesses grow. They bring valuable experience, deep local connections and the kind of relationship-focused approach that has fueled our success in this market."

Jenny Trinh joins Pinnacle as a financial advisor, bringing more than 12 years of experience helping business owners navigate growth, manage financial complexity and build long-term success. Most recently, she served as a small business specialist with U.S. Bank, where she deepened relationships with business clients across the Louisville market. Her career also includes leadership positions as a branch manager and float client relationship consultant.

Sara Doninger joins Pinnacle as a treasury management advisor. She brings more than a decade of experience helping businesses optimize cash flow, improve operational efficiency, and implement treasury solutions that support growth. Most recently, she served as vice president of treasury management and payments consultant at U.S. Bank, where she earned national recognition as a top performer while serving commercial clients throughout Kentucky.

Since entering Louisville in 2022, Pinnacle has continued to build momentum by recruiting top talent and deepening relationships with businesses, entrepreneurs, and community leaders across the market. The additions of Trinh and Doninger further strengthens the firm's ability to meet the evolving needs of clients while supporting its continued growth in the region.
