Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott has appointed Jeff Smith as senior vice president and
branch manager of its Washington, DC, office - a role in which he will lead the firm’s expansion in the Capital Region. 

Smith has over 20
years of industry experience and will report to James Dornan, regional manager.
He started his career in the financial services industry in 1990 as a financial
advisor, moving to Legg Mason in 2004 as director of sales for the central
division.

Jerry Lombard,
president of the firm’s private client group, said the DC metro area is a “logical
expansion point for Janney right now.”  

In other moves, in July the
firm brought in Christopher Willett - a producer with over $200 million in
client assets - as executive vice president of investments in its Atlanta, GA,
branch.
