Short Takes: Coutts Latin America Sales Chief Is Named

Coutts & Co., private banking arm of the London-based Natwest Group, has named Camilo Patino of Miami as head of marketing for Latin America .

He succeeds Victor Echevarria, who resigned Aug. 29.

Mr. Patino, a 10-year veteran of Natwest, will head Coutts' newly formed Latin America Policy Committee, whose job is to coordinate a consistent sales and marketing strategy for the region.

"The sheer complexity of managing that process meant that it's too much for one person to handle effectively," said Peter Cawdron, chief operating officer for Coutts' Americas region. Approximately 40 Coutts private bankers now serve Latin American accounts, he said.
