These hires highlight Wilmington Trust’s continued momentum in the Southeast and beyond, beginning with the October 2020 expansion of an enhanced, client-centric operating model across its Wealth Management divisions.
Wilmington Trust’s relationship-led approach is designed to move decision making and resources closer to clients and drive growth through an increased focus on the client and advisor. The firm will continue to implement this operating model across its Wealth division.
The new hires will focus on the firm’s integrated and comprehensive Wealth Management services to high-net-worth individuals and families, entrepreneurs, business owners, family offices, and foundations & endowments. They will work closely with clients and their advisors to develop financial, tax, and estate planning strategies to help meet clients’ current and long-term objectives.
