Wilmington Trust Continues Extended Southeastern Expansion With Five New Hires

Delaware-based wealth management firm Wilmington Trust has added five new members to its team in Atlanta, according to a press release issued yesterday.

The firm has hired Donna Barwick as vice president and senior fiduciary officer; Rebecca Bily, as event planning coordinator and marketing representative; Cheryl Fairbanks, as assistant vice president and senior client services officer; Jared Milbury, as vice president and senior private client advisor; and William Schwartz, III, as vice president and senior private client advisor. Each of the new employees join Wilmington Trust from BNY Mellon, excepting Mr Milbury, whose last position was with Northwestern Mutual.

These hires are the latest in a long string by the firm in recent months, particularly in the southeastern United States.

“We plan to continue building our team in the coming weeks and months,” D. Jack Sawyer Jr, president of Wilmington Trust’s southeastern division and head of the region’s wealth advisory services, said in a statement.

Mr Sawyer is a recent Wilmington Trust hire himself, having joined the firm’s southeastern dvision along with Michael Mohr and Todd Tautfest in November.
