POWER OF ATTORNEY

The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each
of G. Timothy Laney, Zsolt K. Bessko and Angela
Petrucci, signing singly, as the undersigned's true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

(1)  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in
the undersigned's capacity as a director and/or
officer of National Bank Holdings Corporation (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange Act") and Form
ID, if necessary, to obtain EDGAR codes and related
documentation for use in filing Forms 3, 4 and 5;

(2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf
of the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable
to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 or
Form ID, complete and execute any amendment or
amendments thereto, and file such forms with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and
any stock exchange or similar entity;

(3)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of
such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the
best interest of, or legally required by, the
undersigned, it being understood that the documents
executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall
be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in
such attorney-in-fact's discretion; and

(4)  seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-
fact and on the undersigned's behalf, information
regarding transactions in the Company's securities
from any third party, including brokers, employee
benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the
undersigned hereby authorizes any such person to
release any such information to such attorney-in-fact
and approves and ratifies any such release of
information.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-
in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any
and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in connection with the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present,
with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-
fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and
powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges
that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in
such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are
not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section
16 of the Exchange Act.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and
effect until the undersigned is no longer required to
file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by the Company, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

This Power of Attorney does not relieve the
undersigned from responsibility for compliance with
the undersigned's obligations under the Exchange Act,
including, without limitation, the reporting
requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of
Attorney the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to timely and accurately file Section 16
reports on behalf of the undersigned, the Company does
not represent or warrant that it will be able to in
all cases timely and accurately file Section 16
reports on behalf of the undersigned due to various
factors and the undersigned and the Company's need to
rely on others for information, including the
undersigned and brokers of the undersigned.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this
Power of Attorney to be executed as of this
29         Day of April, 2016.
