Lawrenceville resident joins former colleagues at Hyperion Bank

Hyperion Bank has named Carlos Laverde as Senior Vice President and Relationship Manager with Hyperion Bank. Focusing on commercial lending, Carlos assists a broad range of individual and business customers with a full suite of tailored banking solutions. Of his almost 25 years in banking, he has spent 20 years in the Atlanta market, with most of that in the community bank setting.

“Carlos’ proficiency in building and maintaining customer-focused banking relationships is a great match for our bank’s customers and team,” says Hyperion President & COO Lou DeCesare. “His many repeat and longtime customers appreciate his diligence and quiet humor, as he helps them navigate both short-term and ongoing banking and business opportunities.”

Laverde began his career as a teller with a big box bank and previously served as Market Executive for another area community bank. In between, this seasoned banker has proven his agility across banking services and products, as well as myriad customer industries. He previously worked with a number of bankers who also are now with Hyperion.

“I enjoy getting to know my customers and their needs and goals,” Laverde says, “working with them to achieve and exceed expectations. The greatest compliment is when we start with a more focused banking challenge and solution and the customer ultimately comes to trust us with a full banking relationship across many different products for both their personal and business accounts.”

Originally from Colombia, South America, and in the United States since 1994, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Valdosta State University, and a master’s degree in Finance from Georgia State University. He and his family reside in Lawrenceville.

Hyperion is a full-service community bank, connecting with customers via technology and highly accessible, experienced, enthusiastic bankers who have local decision-making authority. Founded in 2006, the bank expanded in 2019, opening a second location in Atlanta, Georgia; it expanded again in 2020, with a joint venture, Hyperion Mortgage.
