GenSpring Makes Senior Appointment In The Sunshine State

GenSpring, an affiliate of SunTrust Banks, said it has expanded its leadership team in Florida.

GenSpring Family Offices has named Carlos Carreño as managing director for the eastern region of Florida, based in Miami.

The appointment follows on from a number of senior moves at the firm in recent months.

In June, Jim Brennan was named as managing director for the western region in Florida, overseeing GenSpring's Orlando, Tampa Bay and Sarasota family offices. At that time, the firm also named David Herritt as managing director for the northeast region in the US. The same month, Chris Walters was brought in from Rabobank as managing director for the US western region, based in Costa Mesa, CA.

Those appointments followed the departures of Christopher Chandler and Jennifer Eaton, who joined wealth manager Ballentine Partners.

In his former role, Carreño led international wealth management for SunTrust Private Wealth Management (click here for recent changes at SunTrust Banks). In this capacity, he managed SunTrust teams serving clients and families with a second residency in the US. Carreño has more than 20 years of experience in senior management positions within SunTrust Banks, Kroll and Barclays.

GenSpring's Florida east region serves families across eastern and southeast Florida including Jupiter, Palm Beach and Miami.
