Rockefeller & Company, the New York-headquartered wealth management firm, has appointed Michael Marsh as a senior vice president of the company.

In his new Washington-based role Mr Marsh will be responsible for business development. He will work closely with Paul Veith, managing director, as well as investment, client advisory and other professionals throughout the company to develop investment management and other opportunities.

Mr Marsh was latterly a managing director in the strategic and business development division at Lynx Investment Advisory, responsible for sales and marketing. Prior to this he was a regional vice president and asset management advisor at Merrill Lynch Investment Management’s Private Investors division.

Last December Rockefeller named Christopher Wolfe as managing director and chief of investment strategy and Mark Rogozinski as president of Rockit Solutions, a subsidiary that provides wealth data aggregation and financial reporting solutions.

As at 31 December 2009 the firm and its subsidiaries had around $25 billion in assets under management.
