Pinnacle Financial Partners expands National Capital Region team with two veteran financial advisors

McLean, VA. August 12, 2026 – Pinnacle Financial Partners has added Darryl Curry and Rob Pilot as financial advisors, continuing the firm’s investment in the National Capital Region with two experienced professionals who bring decades of commercial banking expertise and longstanding relationships across Northern Virginia.

Curry brings nearly two decades of commercial and business banking experience helping middle market companies develop financial strategies that support growth. He joins Pinnacle after serving as a senior business relationship manager and director at Capital One, where he partnered with business owners to strengthen profitability and identify opportunities to improve financial performance.

Curry’s experience also includes roles at Wells Fargo, and KeyBank, where he worked with business owners on lending, treasury management and deposit solutions tailored to their long-term goals.

“Darryl has built his career by earning the trust of business owners and helping them make thoughtful financial decisions,” said Scott Kinlaw, Pinnacle area manager. “He understands what matters to clients because he’s spent years building lasting relationships and delivering practical advice. That relationship-first approach makes him a natural fit for Pinnacle as we continue growing across the National Capital Region.”

Pilot joins Pinnacle with more than 30 years of banking experience serving businesses and individuals throughout Northern Virginia. Most recently serving as senior vice president with Truist following its merger with BB&T, Pilot’s banking career began with First Virginia Bank, giving him more than three decades of experience helping clients navigate changing financial needs while building trusted relationships throughout the region.

“As a seasoned banker, Rob has dedicated himself to serving clients in Northern Virginia and advancing their strategic long-term goals.  He has earned a reputation for putting relationships first,” said Ken Ayers, Pinnacle area executive. “His deep roots in this market and commitment to delivering personalized advice reflect exactly how we serve clients at Pinnacle. We’re honored he chose to join our team as we continue growing our presence across the National Capital Region.”
