Chris Jones

Retail Market Manager

While a newcomer to Synovus, Chris Jones is no stranger to banking, with over 15 years of experience, including a Bachelor of Science in business management from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. This Chicago native now resides in Dothan, AL with his wife and teenage son, whom he spends most of his time with when he’s not at Synovus. “The single most important part of any business is trust,” he says. “From the Synovus values and customer covenant to the individual interactions I have had with Synovus team members, I can say without a doubt Synovus recognizes that importance.”

John Paul Turner

Commercial Banker

A Wiregrass native, John Paul is excited to return to Dothan, AL, as a commercial banker with Synovus. “I’m proud to help Synovus continue as a trusted financial partner for businesses where I grew up.” That tight-knit community inspires him to find new ways to help clients in and around Dothan face challenges and reach their goals. A graduate of Troy University with a BBA in finance, as well as an avid Alabama fan, John Paul readily quotes Nick Saban, “Success doesn't come from pie-in-the-sky thinking. It's the result of consciously doing something each day that will add to your overall excellence.” John Paul and his fiancée have an 11-year-old rat terrier (Tito) and a two-year-old Bernedoodle (Roscoe). In addition to relaxing with his family at the beach, he enjoys fishing, hunting and golf.
