Patti Blattmachr

Patti Blattmachr is an indispensable pillar of the Peak Trust Company team, having served since the founding of the company in 1997. As Executive Officer, Patti conducts all independent annual trust reviews to evaluate account status, performance, risk levels, and achievement of client goals and objectives. 

In her decades of tenure, Patti has worked extensively across fiduciary operations, investments, relationship management, and trust administration. She leverages this remarkable institutional knowledge to inform annual reviews and provide key executive insights. Patti was the first ever employee of Peak Trust when the company established its inaugural Alaska office location over 25 years ago. Her commitment to the business and vision were instrumental in those early stages of growth.

Patti earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Outdoor Recreation from Northwest Nazarene University. As Peak Trust’s longest-tenured employee, she has been essential in building the high-performing, client-centric team Peak Trust Company is known for today.
