Tampa Bay-Lakeland

Entrepreneur/Company

Katie Pemble never had dreams of owning her own company as a young adult. But after 35 years in Florida banking and wealth management, she had the skills and experience to do just that.

Pemble previously served as president of Bank of America in Pinellas County; CEO and board member of Florida Bank in Tampa; and president and board member of C1 Bank in St. Petersburg. In 2015, she launched her own consulting firm, helping clients with lending and capital. She obtained a Florida real estate license and investment management license and became a certified financial planner, and it was while working with clients in this manner that the idea to start her own trust company was born.
