Mr. Mettler has served as a director of the Company and the Bank since October 21, 2019. Mr. Mettler is Founder and President of Sovereign Co., where he leads strategy and business development. Mr. Mettler assumed a full-time role at Sovereign as of April 26, 2019. Sovereign leverages proprietary marketing attribution and artificial intelligence technology to systematically measure thousands of simultaneous marketing messages to display the most relevant products for consumers. Previously, Mr. Mettler founded two marketing and financial technology businesses, CompareCards and SnapCap, both of which were acquired in two separate transactions by LendingTree (Nasdaq: TREE). Mr. Mettler served as President of Iron Horse Holdings LLC from January 1, 2014 until November 16, 2016. Following LendingTree s acquisition of CompareCards from Iron Horse Holdings in November 2016, Mr. Mettler transitioned to serve as a salaried employee of LendingTree through April 26, 2019. We believe Mr. Mettler s business experience, his strong background in the financial technology sector and his prior service on our Charleston, South Carolina advisory board makes him highly qualified to serve as a director.
