Meet Mary

Mary Agnes Pan is a 50-year Wall Street veteran with experience in corporate, commercial, investment and private banking. Currently a Managing Director and Private Wealth Advisor with The Metro Bay Group at Morgan Stanley, Mary crafts highly customized and fully comprehensive wealth management plans for highly affluent individuals and families. Rooted in investment and lending strategies, these plans address both sides of her clients’ personal financial ledgers and help simplify the management of their complex financial lives.

Mary started her career at Citibank in 1974 as a Corporate Banker and in 1979 became Head of the Commercial Banking Unit. She later joined Bankers Trust as Head of the World Corporate Department in Hong Kong, serving multinational companies with operations in Asia.

In 1983, Mary joined Bank of America in Palo Alto, where she focused on lending to the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. Mary and her family later moved to New Jersey, where she spent a few years in Midlantic National Bank working in Mergers and Acquisitions before rejoining Citibank's Private Bank to focus on custom lending strategies for high net worth clients.

In the early 90s, Mary joined Republic National Bank and was instrumental in building the Private Banking Group into a major player in the private banking industry. Republic National Bank was later acquired by HSBC and Mary became the Head of the Asia Client Group, where she built a portfolio in excess of $4 billion.

In 2011, she rejoined Citi Private Bank to provide sophisticated strategies to ultra high net worth families that encompassed investments, foreign exchange, capital markets and leveraged transactions.

Mary and her husband, Henry, have been active supporters of the 1990 Institute Spring Bud Program for the last 15 years. This program has provided financial aid to over 1,000 underprivileged girls in Shaanxi Province, China, helping them earn their middle school, high school and college degrees. Today, many are successful educators, doctors, lawyers, architects, pharmacists, engineers and other professionals. She has also served on the board of the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center for over 10 years and supported them in their expansion across New York.

Mary and her husband reside in Midtown Manhattan and enjoy spending time with family.
