GenSpring Makes Senior Move In The Sunshine State

The US-based multi-family office has made a regional hire in Florida, recruiting from BNY Mellon.

GenSpring Family Offices has hired Christopher Facka as its new managing director covering the eastern region of Florida.

Facka, who the firm confirmed replaces Carlos Carreño, is tasked with growing the business and serving families throughout eastern and southeast Florida.

GenSpring's Florida-East region serves clients across Jupiter, Palm Beach and Miami.

Carreño took on the role in November last year, having joined from SunTrust Private Wealth Management, where led the international wealth management division, but has since taken a position outside the company.

Facka was formerly a senior wealth director at BNY Mellon. He spent the bulk of his career at Wells Fargo Advisors, however, where managed teams in a range of locations spanning New York City to West Palm Beach, FL.

Meanwhile, last month GenSpring made three senior hires from The George Washington University Investment Office, EY and Wilmington Trust (see more here.)
