The ultra high net worth unit of Wells Fargo has appointed a new CFO, based in Boston.

Abbot Downing has named Jason Davis as its new chief fiduciary officer, succeeding Darryl Meyers, who is retiring after a 30-year legal career.

Davis joined Wells Fargo in 2004 in the family wealth business after working for nearly ten years in private practice, including roles at an international law firm in Philadelphia and a boutique firm in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Meyers has been with Wells Fargo since 2001 and had previously served as national managing director of wealth planning, senior wealth management director and senior regional trust manager for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. Before joining Wells Fargo, he worked at US Bank/Piper Jaffray in private financial services and before that practiced law from 1986 to 1995.
