GenSpring Family Offices, an affiliate of New York-listed SunTrust Banks, has welcomed two new managing directors, Jim Brennan and David Herritt.

GenSpring Family Offices has appointed Jim Brennan as managing director for the Florida-west region and David Herritt as managing director for the North-east region.

Brennan, who has been with Genspring for a decade, previously served as senior family wealth advisor to clients in Tampa Bay and Sarasota family offices. In his new role, he will oversee activities in Orlando, Tampa Bay and Sarasota family offices.

Herritt has served as senior family wealth advisor at Genspring since 2006. He is also family governance director, helping clients in the development of their family policies and governance structures.

In other movements, GenSpring's former managing director Pat Soldano has returned in a consultancy capacity. She left the firm at the end of last year, having spent five years heading up its western region. Soldano helped develop Cymric Family Office Services into a multi-family office back in 1996 which became part of GenSpring in 2009.

“Jim and David represent the best of GenSpring, they are experts in the family wealth industry who will build on the legacy we’ve created in these regions,” said chief executive of GenSpring, Willem Hattink. 

“Pat has been an influential leader in the family office community for years, she knows the intricacies of working with ultra-high net worth families and will be instrumental in helping us better serve our clients and grow our business.”

The appointments follow the recent departures of Christopher Chandler and Jennifer Eaton, who left GenSpring last month to join wealth manager Ballentine Partners.
