Abstract:
Rhone Sasser did not intend to become a banker, but he has built United Carolina Bank in Whiteville into a premier mid-tier power house. On one of his first jobs he was a tobacco buyer. His career in banking began in 1967, and he has held a number of positions before assuming his present one as UCB president and CEO. A team builder and motivator, Sasser says that choosing the right people is “the single most important thing a person can do to be successful as a manager.†Sasser is featured in NORTH CAROLINA magazine's “executive profile.â€
