2023 Professional Profiles: Capital City Bank
Don May, President of Leon, Gadsden and Washington Counties
What made you want to pursue your career?
My father, Ben May, was a banker with Capital City Bank for 30 years. Growing up, I saw how much he loved what he did for his career and that got me interested.
I figured if he loved it that much, it must be a great career.
As a second-generation Capital City banker and Tallahassee native with more than 30 years of management and banking experience, what I love the most about what I do is people â whether it be the clients we get to help or the associates I get to work with, the interaction and chance to make a difference is what motivates me day to day.
What sets your company apart in the industry?
The Capital City name is absolutely an important brand and a legacy in Tallahassee.
Capital City Bank has played a significant role in Tallahasseeâs history on many levels, including helping businesses and people or supporting community projects, since 1895.
We also offer a full range of financial products and services, including deposits, loans, investments, trust services, strategic wealth planning and retirement planning.
Capital City Bank can guarantee clients will be treated with respect and be valued.
The chance to help clients realize their goals, either personally or with their business, and making an impact are all the best parts of working for Capital City.
What have been your greatest professional achievements?
Getting to coach and mentor new or young associates and watching clients grow ideas into successful ventures are some of my proudest achievements.
What does the future hold for you/your company?
Capital City Bank recently celebrated 128 years in business.
We continue to focus on growing in the many markets we serve and always strive to be leaders in our industry and in the communities we call home.
How do you define success?
I believe it doesnât matter what you do personally or professionally as long as you build a reputation for fairness, honesty and reliability.
If you possess these traits, you are successful.
