Gary McGovern, John Flaherty, and Frank McDonell, now senior vice presidents of investments, joined Raymond James earlier this month. 

McGovern used to be the first vice president and assistant branch manager at Wells Fargo in Norwell, where he oversaw $129 million in client assets and had nearly $750,000 in annual fees and commissions. Flaherty, also from Wells Fargo, most recently managed $67 million in client assets and generated more than $750,000 in annual production. McDonnell is from RBC Wealth Management, where he oversaw $85 million in client assets and almost $700,000 in annual fees and commissions.

Also moving from Wells Fargo with Flaherty and McGovern are registered client service associates Marilyn Drobiarz and Wendy Solari.

Raymond James has hired a number of advisors over the past months, in support of its expansion strategy in the US. Early this month, the firm brought in Sandy Chambers for its Classic Wealth Advisory division in Tennessee. Prior to that, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney duo Thomas and Patrick Seiler joined the Pennsylvania business.
