Mr. Bogan most recently served as President and Chief Operating Officer of NewDominion Bank, a $300 million-asset community bank based in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he directed overall banking operations, grew the retail and commercial loan base, and successfully engineered a secondary market mortgage platform during his tenure. He began his banking career over two decades ago with Wachovia Bank, and moved into community banking with South Carolina Bank and Trust and Ameris Bank in Georgia before joining NewDominion Bank as President and Chief Operating Officer in 2011.  Mr. Bogan's previous industry experience also includes positions in private banking and wealth management, and executive responsibility in establishing new regional markets.

"Marc's extensive experience at the top operating structure of banks ranging in size up to $3 billion in assets attracted us to him as a candidate," said John B. Adams, Jr., Chairman of the Board of the Company and the Bank. "He has been described as one of the brightest executive bankers in the Southeast and a leader who is always looking to make a difference with employees and customers in his community. We certainly found that to be true of him during our conversations and we look forward to welcoming him here to build on the solid foundation of The Fauquier Bank."

"I'm very excited to be joining The Fauquier Bank at a great time for strong, independent community banks." Bogan said. "I am pleased to learn that the Bank is known for its excellent customer service, for helping families better manage their assets, for helping organizations grow and for giving back to the community.  Taking on this job for a bank that's been operating successfully for 114 years and yet still continues to innovate is an immense responsibility. I look forward to the challenge and to discovering ways we can be even more meaningful to our customers, employees, shareholders and the community."

Mr. Bogan is a graduate of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, earning a degree in business administration. He is president of the Winthrop University Foundation, serves on the American Bankers Association's Community Bankers Council, and is an active member of the Rotary Club of Charlotte as well as several local boards and committees.
