From Riggs website:

David Bachetti

Bachetti transferred to London from Washington in early 2000 and was named Chief Credit Officer in 2001. As Managing Director, he will guide Riggs Bank Europe's commercial lending activities in the United Kingdom.

"David brings to this position an outstanding track record in credit administration, along with the drive, talent and energy to succeed," said Allbritton. "He is a great addition to the executive management team."

Prior to his London appointment, Bachetti was Senior Managing Director of Riggs' Investment Banking Division. He joined Riggs in 1989 and held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility in the bank's credit administration and loan review divisions. Bachetti earned an M.B.A. from Georgetown University and a B.A. from the College of William & Mary.
