Union Bank Makes String Of Private Banking Hires In California

San Francisco, CA-headquartered Union Bank has boosted its network of private bankers in California, appointing Melissa Gough as a regional director and Roy Martinez, Christopher O’Connor, Todd Stornetta and Nancy Quackenbush as senior private bankers.

The firm also recently acquired Santa Barbara Bank & Trust; the transaction was finalized in December.

Based in Santa Barbara, Montecito and Monterey, the team of private bankers will advise clients across California's Central Coast region. They will provide wealth planning, investments, risk management, trust and estate services, and banking to professional services firms and high net worth individuals and families.

Gough has over 20 years of experience working with HNW clients, most recently as an executive director and regional manager at Morgan Stanley Private Bank.

Martinez was latterly a private client manager at US Trust, while O’Connor joins Union Bank following a 20-year stint at Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, formerly as a senior vice president and senior relationship manager.

Stornetta also joins from Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, where he served HNW clients in the Monterey region. Lastly, Quackenbush was latterly a vice president and wealth management banker at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
