Before that, Kravetz held investment management positions in the Phoenix area with both Northern Trust and Arthur Anderson Financial Advisors, and in New York with Chase Private Banking.

Based in the Scottsdale, AZ, office of the PCR, Kravetz is responsible for the development and supervision of the firm's investment management business throughout the western region. He is also a senior member of US Bank Wealth Management’s asset management group and assists in the development and implementation of investment policies, capabilities and resources nationwide.

In other recent hires at the firm, last month the PCR hired Steven Hobbs as a senior portfolio manager in Minneapolis, MN.
