Citizens Private Bank Bolsters CA Presence with Banking Addition 

Citizens Financial Group has boosted its presence in Southern California with the addition of a private banking team and two offices in Beverly Hills and South Bay. 

The team is led by executive market director Michele Piccirillo and includes relationship managers Jeremy Cramer, Lisa Lemons, Sarah Perahia, Jonathan Durante, Petros Altunyan, Jodie Weiss, Brian Litman, and Mary Deckebach. 

Prior to joining Citizens, Piccirillo, Lemons, Perahia, Durante, Deckebach, Altunyan, and Litman were affiliated with Flagstar Private Bank, according to their LinkedIn profiles. 

The team provides “white glove services” to high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and businesses across entertainment, real estate, construction lending, philanthropic, and innovation sectors. 

“Our clients aren’t shy to tell us what they want, and they have made it clear they would like Citizens Private Bank in Los Angeles. The addition of this highly esteemed team allows us to extend our high-touch, integrated banking capabilities to clients in the market and throughout the state,” Susan deTray, head of Citizens Private Bank, said. 

In July, Citizens added MWI Wealth Partners, which oversees $1.5 billion in assets under management, to its private wealth division from Flagstar Advisors.
