They join Thomas Finney, managing director of wealth advisory services, senior private client advisors Joanne Abell and Bill Martin, investment advisor Joshua Stump and senior financial planner Thomas Kelley. With a current staff of 17 in Maryland, Wilmington Trust plans to double the number of its wealth advisors serving the region in the coming months.
