Citi Private Bank continues to attract private banking talent with the recent appointment of Martin Rosa as a director and private banker for its Chicago office.

Rosa joins the company from HSBC Private Bank, where he was a senior vice president focused on ultra high net worth families. Prior to that, he spent 11 years as a senior vice president with Bank of America and NationsBank in Chicago. In his new role, he reports to Michael Smith, the midwest regional executive for Citi Private Bank.

Citi has made a wave of hires in the US over the past months as it works to regain its foothold following the global financial crisis.
