Jerry Williams, formerly Orion Bank's CEO and Chairman, has consistently displayed his capabilities as a leader and innovator. The public is very familiar with his confident and assured nature, but few have knowledge about his life after work hours. Here is a glimpse of the man behind his office desk.


Jerry Williams is a self-made entrepreneur who grew up in the small city of Athens, Texas. He ran track and played football during high school, and enjoyed hanging out with his two brothers. High school peers dubbed him as “Most Popular” as Williams strove to do his best to initiate change within the community.

Perhaps the success of Jerry Williams, before Orion Bank even started to exist, is greatly emphasized by his small-city roots. Aside from having a loving and handsome family, Williams is now the proud owner of a highly respected reputation, a sleek private jet, the latest BMW model, and numerous accolades— accomplishments which may seem too big, or unheard of, among the 12,000 population of Athens, Texas.

During his free time, Williams prefers to spend time with his wife, Heather, and their three sons. He grooms his sons to become athletes like him, and often takes out the boys to play golf or hockey. To his family, Williams is a generous, driven, and extremely passionate person.


Yet despite his laidback attitude with his family, Williams is known for his driven nature and amazing vision for his organizations. More insight on the life of Jerry Williams is available at linkedin.com/in/jerryjwilliams.
