US Independent Brokerage Giant Appoints Ex-ABN Amro Man for CFO

LPL Financial, America’s largest independent broker dealer,
tapped
ABN Amro for its new chief financial officer.
The Boston-based brokerage business that manages $275 billion in
assets hired former ABN Amro executive Robert Moore to replace
Bill Maher, the firm’s current CFO.
Mr Moore was in charge of ABN’s former North America business
unit
LaSalle Bank before it was acquired by Charlotte-based
Bank of America last year.
Press reports suggested Mr Maher was leaving the firm to “pursue
other opportunities”.
