BNY Mellon Wealth Management has hired two business development directors: Michael Quinlan in Atlanta, GA, and Benjamin Rodgers in Washington.

Quinlan, a senior business development director, will report to managing director Helen Nugent, while Rodgers reports to regional president Susan Traver, and Garrett Alton, Mid-Atlantic regional sales manager.

Quinlan joins BNY Mellon Wealth Management as part of a two-year effort to expand the firm’s sales and wealth management teams in key wealth markets across the US. He was latterly a principal with Henssler Financial in Kennesaw, GA, responsible for directing business development, marketing and sales strategy.

A retired US Naval officer, Quinlan held training and operations management positions at several Naval Air Force bases earlier in his career. Prior to joining Henssler in 2006, he was director of the office of strategic management at the Commander Naval Air Force Reserve in San Diego, CA.

“Over the past 18 months we have hired eight new people in our office and we have experienced double digit growth in revenue over the past three years,” said Atlanta regional president Chris Hohlstein.

Prior to his appointment, Rodgers was a financial advisor with Bernstein Global Wealth Management. Before that, he was a senior associate at the law firm of Burglass & Tankersley in New Orleans. From 1996 through 2001, Rodgers served as a US Army Officer.
