Citi Private Bank has added Jorrell Best, Lucas Fayad, and Luis Madia de Souza to its Latin America team, according to Antonio Gonzales, head of the region, in a post on his LinkedIn profile.
In the post, Gonzales welcomed the new bankers and emphasized that “these colleagues bring strong experience in wealth management and will be invaluable partners in serving our clients and driving growth in their respective regions.”
Of the new trio, Fayad and Madia de Souza will focus on the Brazilian market, while Best will cover Central America and the Caribbean from Miami, strengthening the regional coverage of the group’s private banking franchise.
Jorrell Best joins Citi Private Bank as a senior banker based in Miami, where he will serve clients in Central America and the Caribbean. He brings experience in wealth advisory for high-net-worth clients and is part of Citi’s U.S. private banking team, focusing on investment and planning solutions for international clients.
Lucas Fayad, meanwhile, joins the Brazil team from UBS Wealth Management, where he served as a private banker in São Paulo. His background centers on serving high-net-worth clients, with a strong focus on portfolio structuring and both local and offshore investment solutions.
Also joining for the Brazilian market is Luis Madia de Souza, who comes to Citi Private Bank after a long career at Itaú, where he worked for over 15 years in various wealth management and client relationship roles. His addition aims to reinforce local coverage and deepen the development of the private banking business in Brazil.
With these appointments, Citi Private Bank continues to strengthen its team in Latin America, a key region within its growth strategy for high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients.
