@s5 the guy in TX previously ran the smallest wealth shop in the firm!
@kj agreed!!!
They need to clean house from top to bottom. Our Divisional Director in Florida is essentially absent, and his boss, Bryan Cram, seems more focused on traveling the country, glad-handing executives, and currying favor with the bank than supporting advisors or clients. There is also another divisional leader based in Texas who covers the East Coast, and there are concerns about the effectiveness of that role as well. They add little value for the people who actually drive the business. It’s a terrible leadership model.
seriously though who would use Truist wealth. I mean if you have big dollars are you really going to park them at Truist versus a Goldman, BAML, JPM or MS.
@dz oh gosh please share this story. Pretty please?
I watched him completely embarrass a newly hired advisor in a room of about 200 people one day. He’s a pretty boy wanna be elite who should have been removed years ago.
Just so everyone is aware, it’s Brian Dowhower. The Head of Truist Wealth.
He’s been replaced by Shimna Sameer. The Head of Products, Solutions, and Platforms for Bank of America.
@am Brian townhouses is what I’ll be calling him going forward
@ag Brian townhouses (or however you spell his name) in wealth. Which is why I didn’t give his last name because I don’t remember how to spell it
He’s probably switching roles to focus on GCC
If you’re gonna name names, use first and last names. Some of us don’t know who you are talking about.
Another invader. Great.

who?
What email? Brian who?
It’s the lesher way. Shuffle things around continuously in order to hide the cr-ppy performance.
First thought was did Lyons sign off on this change? First of many we can hope!
