Since he started at Trustmark, Dan has led the change necessary to enhance Trustmark’s competitive position across our businesses. It’s this blend of technical acumen and business knowledge that set Dan apart. He keeps the customer in mind, manages ambiguity and, as a leader, maximizes team and individual strengths.”
