Royal Bank of Canada’s wealth management arm has added to its executive team.

RBC Wealth Management has appointed John Younger as managing director, sales and relationship management, responsible for the business owners and entrepreneurs client segment team.

Younger brings almost 25 years of industry experience, including 18 years with RBC in its capital markets business in Toronto and New York. Since 2010, he has held several senior positions in industry and public service, including his role at the Bank of England as senior advisor to the Fair and Effective Markets Review. Most recently, he has acted as an advisor to a fintech start up.

Based in London, Younger will report to Tony Johnson, head of sales and relationship management at RBC Wealth Management. 

Younger succeeds Sandy Swinton, who led the business owners and entrepreneurs client segment since November 2015. He will focus solely on the sports, media and entertainment client segment.

“Throughout his career, John has demonstrated exceptional client service expertise and has developed outstanding professional leadership,” said Johnson.

“I am confident that John’s experience in private industry and public service will be a significant asset and best position his client segment team to meet the unique wealth management needs of business owners and entrepreneurs.”
