American Marconi Wireless News - Philip Cook Joins Whittier Trust Seattle Office as Vice President and Client Advisor

PASADENA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 27, 2025 / Whittier Trust is proud to welcome Philip Cook as Vice President and Client Advisor in the firm's Seattle office. A seasoned advisor with more than 18 years of experience in tax, estate planning, trust administration, and family governance in both California and Washington State, Philip joins the Pacific Northwest team of The Whittier Trust Company of Nevada, where he will serve ultra-high-net-worth families in both Seattle and Portland.

Philip brings to Whittier Trust a distinctive blend of technical expertise and personal insight, shaped by 12 years in public accounting with time at Deloitte and Andersen Tax, followed by six years as Director and Senior Director at Pacific Trust Company.
