Renasant CEO Succession: Kevin Chapman Becomes CEO as Waycaster Steps Down

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Effective May 1, 2025, Kevin D. Chapman became Chief Executive Officer of Renasant Corporation and Renasant Bank, in addition to his role as President, as part of a previously announced succession plan. C. Mitchell Waycaster stepped down as CEO and remains Executive Vice Chairman, and E. Robinson McGraw resigned as an officer but remains Chairman of the Board, so the change is a leadership transition rather than a change in board control.

Key points

  • Kevin D. Chapman assumed the CEO role on May 1, 2025 and remains President of the Company and the Bank.
  • C. Mitchell Waycaster stepped down as CEO and will continue as Executive Vice Chairman, including work on strategic planning, investor relations, and mergers and acquisitions.
  • E. Robinson McGraw resigned as an officer and employee of the Company and the Bank and will continue as a director and Chairman of the Board.
  • Chapman has been President since May 2023 and Chief Operating Officer since May 2018.
