WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilmington Trust, a leader in wealth management and corporate and institutional services, said today it expanded its New York City and Tri-State team. The firm hired Senior Wealth Investment Advisor Brian Barry and Wealth Advisor Katie O'Boyle. Both will be located in the New York City office.

These hires are two of many that Wilmington Trust recently announced across its business units. The firm has committed to adding a significant number of new professionals, which will broaden expertise. Over the next two years, they expect to double the number of its client-facing colleagues.

"Our expected growth in NYC and the Tri-State region has remained on track this quarter, including welcoming Katie O'Boyle and Brian Barry to our team," said Jim O'Hoppe, NYC and Tri-State regional president for Wilmington Trust. "We are excited to continue with our initiative to expand the team across this region's footprint in the next two years to serve our client needs."

The move is designed to move decision-making and resources closer to clients and drive growth by focusing on the client and advisor relationship.

The new hires will focus on the firm's comprehensive Wealth Management services to high-net-worth individuals and families, entrepreneurs, business owners, family offices, and foundations & endowments.
