Citi Private Bank said yesterday it has appointed Michael Hatch to its Seattle office as director and ultra high net worth private banker.

Hatch will report to Nancy Pellegrino, head of Citi Private Bank’s Pacific Northwest region, the US banking group said.

The Seattle native joins Citi from JP Morgan Private Bank, where he was a vice president and private banker in the region. Previously, he worked for Sanford Bernstein, where he built a practice focused on the wealth management needs of private clients. He began his career at Goldman Sachs as a financial analyst.
