The private banking group has added a wealth management and banking figure with 25 years' of experience to lead one of its market segments.

Key Private Bank, the Cleveland, Ohio-headquartered bank operating in 15 states, has appointed Virginia “Ginny” Kuper as senior vice president and market leader serving its Hudson Valley and Metro New York market. 

In her new role, Kuper will lead a team of ten local private bankers who provide financial planning, investment, trust and banking solutions for high net worth individuals and families, a statement from the bank said. 

Kuper brings more than 25 years of wealth management and banking experience. Previously, she was at Wells Fargo Private Bank, where she served as a regional manager in the metropolitan New York market. She also held numerous senior level regional leadership positions at HSBC.

The bank serves more than 24,000 high-net worth and ultra-high-net worth clients, employs more than 350 wealth advisors and holds $35.9 billion in assets under management. Last December, the firm announced it had created the role of chief investment officer (see article here).
