Pinnacle Financial Partners names Shane White senior manager of residential construction lending

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 23, 2026 - Pinnacle Financial Partners has added Shane White as senior manager of residential construction lending for the firm. He will be based at the Shades Creek office in Birmingham, Alabama.

White brings more than 35 years of experience in building and leading construction-to-permanent lending programs, with extensive expertise in product development, policy and process design, training and construction loan administration.

Before joining Pinnacle, White served as senior vice president and director of construction permanent lending at Cadence Bank. Earlier in his career, he held construction and specialty mortgage leadership roles at BBVA, New South Federal Savings Bank and Secor Bank. Across those roles, he helped design and scale lending programs that support builders and homebuyers while keeping the process clear, responsive and dependable.

"Shane knows this business inside and out, but what stands out just as much is how he shows up for people," said Darron Burnette, president of mortgage for Pinnacle. "He understands what builders and buyers need at each step, and he helps clients move a project forward, keeping on track and working through complex details without overcomplicating the process. That matters to clients who want a partner they can trust from the first draw to the final closing."

A Birmingham banking veteran, White earned a bachelor's degree in corporate finance from the University of Alabama. His long tenure in the market and specialized experience in residential construction lending strengthen Pinnacle's ability to serve clients who need thoughtful guidance, consistent execution and a lender who understands the local landscape.

White's addition reflects Pinnacle's continued investment in bringing experienced professionals to the firm who have strong knowledge and expertise and have built trusted relationships with the people in the communities the firm serves.
