“Anne brings more than 30 years of experience helping clients craft comprehensive and customized financial plans that meet their personal and complex goals,” said Mr. Todd. “She is also an impressive leader who has managed large teams with diverse talent in the Greater New York marketplace. We look forward to working with her as we continue to strengthen our footprint in this vital region.”
