Western Alliance Bank Appoints David Hutzler to Lead Private Client Group in Las Vegas
Western Alliance Bank today announced the appointment of David Hutzler as Head of the Western Alliance Private Client Group in Las Vegas, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to delivering highly personalized, concierge-level banking and mortgage solutions to high-net-worth individuals and their advisors across Nevada.
The Private Client Group, launched in 2025, was created to meet the evolving financial needs of affluent clients seeking tailored banking strategies, specialized lending, and elevated service models. The group offers a comprehensive suite of full-service concierge banking and mortgage products designed to support complex financial lives, including customized credit solutions, cash management, residential and specialty lending, and integrated wealth-aligned services.
Headquartered in Beverly Hills, with established hubs in Phoenix and now Las Vegas, the Private Client Group is expanding rapidly in response to strong client demand for relationship-driven banking solutions that combine local expertise with the scale and stability of a national financial institution.
The Nevada market has shown a strong appetite for this level of white-glove service and strategic financial guidance,” said Hutzler. “Affluent clients and their advisors are looking for banking partners who understand their goals, move quickly, and deliver thoughtful, customized solutions. The Private Client Group is uniquely positioned to provide that experience, supported by Western Alliance Bank’s longstanding reputation for excellence, responsiveness, and expertise.”
A Las Vegas native, Hutzler brings extensive leadership experience and deep market knowledge to his new role. Since joining Western Alliance Bank in January 2024, he has served as Divisional Director of Preferred and Small Business Banking in Las Vegas, where he successfully expanded client relationships and strengthened the bank’s presence in the local market. In his expanded role, Hutzler will lead the continued buildout of the Private Client Group in Nevada, overseeing team growth, client acquisition, and service delivery for high-net-worth individuals throughout the region.
Prior to joining Western Alliance Bank, Hutzler held senior leadership roles across banking sales, client experience, and operations at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo, working in major markets nationwide. His background includes supporting affluent clients, business owners, and professional advisors with sophisticated financial strategies across multiple economic cycles.
David brings a deep understanding of what affluent clients and their advisors expect from a banking relationship,” said Tim Bruckner, Chief Banking Officer of Western Alliance Bank. “He understands how to align customized cash management, credit, mortgage, and lending solutions with a high-touch service model that exceeds expectations. We are excited to extend this concierge approach to customers in Las Vegas and across the broader region under his leadership.”
Western Alliance Bank continues to invest in specialized client segments and relationship-based banking platforms that differentiate its offerings in competitive markets. The expansion of the Private Client Group into Las Vegas reflects the bank’s strategic focus on serving growing concentrations of wealth with tailored solutions, experienced leadership, and a commitment to long-term client success.
