Glenmede, the privately-held and independent investment and wealth management firm, has hired Christopher Poch as director of business development and member of the management committee, while promoting Denise Hayden as director of specialized fiduciary and administration services.

Poch will broaden the firm’s client base across high net worth, family, endowment, foundation and institutional relationships. Until recently, he was regional director of the Mid-Atlantic region for Bessemer Trust. His appointment follows the 2013 year-end retirement of Stan Broadbent, Glenmede said.

Poch will relocate from the Washington, DC, area to Glenmede's headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. Prior to Bessemer, he was executive vice president of LPL Financial and chief executive of The Private Bank Company; director of wealth management for Citigroup’s international personal banking group; and a managing director of Smith Barney’s global private wealth management group.

Meanwhile, Hayden will work with Glenmede’s wealth advisory professionals, while managing special asset administration, estate and trust settlement services, and other specialized fiduciary business processes.

Hayden also serves on the firm’s risk management committee and will manage the client resource team, which works on system processes and client on-boarding procedures.

With more than 16 years of trust administration and compliance experience, Hayden joined Glenmede in 2012 from Morgan Stanley Private Bank, where she was vice president and senior trust officer. Before that, she was a vice president and senior trust officer at Goldman Sachs, following an early career in the trust and banking industry.
