California-Based First Private Bank Appoints New Chief Executive

First Private Bank & Trust, a Los Angeles-based affiliate of

US wealth management house Boston Private Financial, said it has appointed V. Charles Jackson as its chief executive, replacing James Dawson, who held the post on an interim basis.

Mr Dawson will continue to serve on the First Private board of directors, the bank said.

“Charlie will be a strong leader for First Private as we build on the bank’s strengths while navigating the economic crisis that has hit
Southern California so hard,” said Mr Dawson.

During a banking industry career spanning more than 30 years, Mr. Jackson has held senior executive positions with large financial institutions, wealth managers and community banks. Prior to joining First Private, Mr. Jackson was chief executive of Security Pacific Bancorp, based in

Los Angeles.

He has also been president and chief executive of Community Bank in

Pasadena,
California.
