Capital Bank CEO Kyle Patton ‘On Leave’

Tracy Duke

Have you heard that Tracy Duke has replaced Kyle Patton as CEO of Capital Bank of Little Rock?

So has Whispers. More than once. But good luck getting it confirmed or denied.

Duke, a veteran banker and twin of Gateway Bank CEO Troy Duke, joined $153 million-asset Capital Bank a year ago, and his LinkedIn profile lists him as senior vice president.

But he didn’t return calls last week. Nor did directors and major shareholders G. Warren Stephenson and Boyd Rothwell.

A call to Patton was routed to Duke because Patton was said to be “on leave.”
