The office will be jointly led by UHNW private banker Austin Koenen and investment counsellor Doug Poetzsch. The pair will report to the bank’s regional market manager for Southeast US Luke Palacio.
“We are now witnessing a robust growth scenario for wealth creation underpinned by strong demographic and commercial shifts taking place in the South. Atlanta provides an ideal location to pursue this opportunity across the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, and also serves as an additional touchpoint for our Southeastern clients,” Palacio noted.
Koenen, with an experience of over 15 years in the investment space, most recently worked at JPMorgan Private Bank in Atlanta.
He previously served as a vice president in equity syndicate for Nomura International and Lehman Brothers, and as a financial analyst in the fixed income unit at Morgan Stanley.
