Veteran power company executive to help guide company’s continued Gulf South growth

Hancock Whitney Corporation (Nasdaq: HWC) has appointed Alabama Power executive Moses Feagin to become the newest member of the boards of directors of Hancock Whitney Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hancock Whitney Bank, effective November 15, 2024.

Hancock Whitney Corporation is the parent company of Hancock Whitney Bank, a full-service financial institution with corporate offices and financial centers serving communities across the greater Gulf South.

Feagin currently serves as Executive Vice President, Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer for Alabama Power in Birmingham, Alabama, a subsidiary of the Atlanta, Georgia, based Southern Company. At Alabama Power, he oversees the finance, accounting, and treasury departments as well as regulatory affairs.

“During his 35-year career, Moses Feagin has established an outstanding record of achievement in helping grow the nation’s second largest utilities company throughout the region. We believe his executive leadership expertise and first-hand knowledge of the communities Hancock Whitney serves will prove essential as he, our other board members, executives, and associate teams move our organization successfully into our next one-and-a-quarter century according to the core values our founders set forth,” said Hancock Whitney Chairman of the Board Jerry L. Levens.

Hancock Whitney — consistently rated one of America’s strongest, safest financial institutions by BauerFinancial, Inc. — celebrated the 125th anniversary of the bank’s 1899 charter earlier this month.
