Pendleton Square Trust and Family Office has hired Hugh Brown as principal trust officer, the company announced last week. Brown joins Pendleton Square following a 20-year career in corporate and commercial banking.
He has worked with dozens of family-owned businesses, often during times of significant transition such as acquisitions, growth, and divestiture. He spent the first 12 years of his banking career working with large corporate entities around the country, and returned to Chattanooga in 2008 to work with business owners and their families in an advisory capacity.
Brown sits on the board of the Chambliss Center for Children, where he serves on the executive committee as assistant treasurer. He also is a member of the McCallie School Alumni Council. Brown earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Emory University, and his Master of Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance and Investments, from Georgia State University.
