KRISTA FITZPATRICK, CTFA

Director of Client Development

As Director of Client Development, Krista leads the Client Development team and works closely with prospective clients, families, professional advisors, and referral partners to help determine whether Northwest Trustee's fiduciary services are the right fit for their unique needs.
A Certified Trust & Fiduciary Advisor (CTFA), Krista is passionate about building meaningful relationships and bringing comfort, clarity, and confidence to conversations that are often complex or emotionally charged. She is committed to creating an exceptional client experience, guiding prospective clients through the discovery and onboarding process, and fostering collaboration across Northwest Trustee's fiduciary and family office teams.
With more than 20 years of experience in client service and business development, Krista enjoys helping families navigate important decisions while supporting a team dedicated to enriching lives, honoring family legacies, building enduring relationships, and minimizing family conflict.
A native Oregonian, Krista and her family moved to Spokane in 2018. As a mother of two, she was grateful for the opportunity to spend several years as a stay-at-home mom before returning to the workforce. She later taught children living with special needs before joining Northwest Trustee in 2020. Outside of work, Krista enjoys watching her daughter play volleyball and cheering on her son at baseball and football games.
