Marco Trestini

Associate Director, Wealth Manager

“In 2008, I did conservation work with the British Schools Exploring Society in the Peruvian Amazon. That experience showed me the incredible, often invisible work charities do. Now, 18 years later, and as the head of charities for the Northwest, I help ensure their funds are deployed effectively so they can maximize their impact and support as many people and causes as possible.”
