JPMorgan has appointed Sarah Catania as the head of its private banking business for continental Europe, reported Reuters.
She will report to Pablo Garnica, the CEO of JPMorgan Private Bank for Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
Simultaneously, Pietro Sala has been appointed as the market manager for JPMorgan Private Bank in Italy and Greece.
Both Catania and Sala will continue operating out of Milan, the news agency added.
According to its website, as the regional head of Continental Europe, Catania has been managing the private banking operations across several European regions, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux, and the Nordics.
Her responsibilities encompass the execution of growth strategies, regional oversight, and the advancement of local market teams, as well as spearheading recruitment and talent development initiatives.
Prior to being named market manager for Greece in 2024 and Italy in 2021, she held key roles at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, including head of Investments & Advice for Italy, where she managed client portfolio asset class allocation for ultra-high-net-worth clients since 2017.
Catania joined J.P. Morgan’s Milan team in 2010 as a senior portfolio advisor.
Her career with J.P. Morgan launched in 2004, where she worked with Italian and Greek institutional clients on the rates market sales team in the Corporate & Investment Bank.
In July, JPMorgan Chase appointed David Frame to the position of global CEO of its private bank. Frame will continue to report to J.P. Morgan Asset and Wealth Management CEO Mary Callahan Erdoes.
