The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia announced today that its long serving President and CEO, Greg Mckee will retire on January 31, 2023. He will continue as a member of the Board of Directors.
Mckee will remain as President and CEO of Citizens Holding Company and a member of that Board of Directors.
This announcement is made at the conclusion of a diligent and thorough succession search that was done by a nationally recognized executive search firm engaged by the Bank’s Board of Directors. It is anticipated that a public announcement regarding the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer of the bank will be made within the next two weeks.
Mckee joined the Bank in 1982 and has been President and CEO since 2002.
McKee stated “I am very appreciative of the loyalty and support of employees, customers, and shareholders.

I look forward to the successes and accomplishments that the Bank and its management will achieve in the future.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors and our Shareholders, I would like to thank Greg for his decades of loyal service and servant leadership to this institution, enabling the Bank to grow and serve Mississippi communities across our footprint,” said Herbert King, Chairman of the Board. “During his over 20-year tenure, the bank’s assets have grown $400 million to over $1.4 billion and has attracted and retained an outstanding group of leaders and staff that are dedicated to our mission.”
