New York-based Signature Bank has hired yet another private client banking team. So far this year, five private client banking teams have come on board.

Kevin Macpherson was appointed group director and senior vice president, along with colleagues Tracey Capobianco and Marion Ege, both of whom were named associate group director and vice president. The team will be based in Signature’s private client banking office in Woodmere, Long Island.

Macpherson and his team, who have worked together for 10 years, join from the HSBC Rockville Centre, Long Island branch. Macpherson has four decades of banking experience, having spent 34 years at JP Morgan Chase as vice president-branch manager at various locations in Long Island and Queens.

Before HSBC, Capobianco spent 16 years as vice president-branch manager at JP Morgan Chase in Long Beach, Long Island and Ege had spent four years as a small business relationship manager at JP Morgan Chase, in Rockville Centre.

“The mega-banks' continued ‘institutionalizing’ of clients affords Signature Bank tremendous opportunities to attract veteran bankers seeking a much more personalized platform from which they can cater to their clients,” said Joseph DePaolo, president and chief executive officer at Signature.

Signature has 24 private client offices across the New York metropolitan area.
