ALEXANDRIA, La. – Red River Bank has earned a ranking on Louisiana State University’s 2025 LSU100 list of fastest growing LSU graduate-owned or led companies.  In addition to celebrating the success of LSU graduates, the LSU100 program provides a forum for LSU graduates to pass business success guidance on to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.

Red River Bank is led by President and Chief Executive Officer R. Blake Chatelain, a finance graduate of LSU. Joining Blake on the bank’s leadership team is Bryon C. Salazar, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer, who also holds a B.S. in Finance from LSU. Many other LSU graduates are employed in various departments throughout Red River Bank.

“Being named to the LSU100 list for the 11th time is a testament to our team’s dedication and innovative spirit,” said Chatelain. “As a proud LSU alumnus, this recognition from my alma mater holds special meaning and underscores Red River Bank’s commitment to serving our communities with excellence. I’m deeply grateful to every colleague, client, and partner who has made this achievement possible. Geaux Tigers!”

Honorees will learn their official ranking on the LSU100 List at the LSU100 Gala in November.
