I had the pleasure of speaking at the inaugural Citizens Private Bank™ Private Equity CFO Conference in Napa Valley yesterday, presenting an opportunity to meet some of the smartest executives in Private Equity across the US. The conference is another demonstration of Citizens' commitment to banking the PE/VC space, building off of the already strong capabilities and relationships our Commercial Bank has built over the years. This week also marks the 1-year anniversary since we began laying the foundation to build a world-class private bank, starting with the hiring of now more than 250 private bankers and wealth managers. We’re off to a tremendous start, and I am immensely appreciative of how the private equity community has embraced Citizens in our quest to fill the white space in the market following the regional bank failures. Thank you to Michael Franks, Sam Heshmati, Scott Aleali, Jeremy Grubb and so many others who exchanged knowledge over the past few days. We look forward to serving this industry well for years to come. #CitizensColleague
