The Connecticut-headquartered wealth manager has handed the role to a familiar face.

LLBH Private Wealth Management has appointed Jeff Fuhrman, its chief operating officer and chief financial officer, as president, a newly-created role.

Fuhrman joined LLBH in 2013 as COO and CFO. As president, he will retain responsibility for the human capital, financial management, operations, technology and marketing efforts of the firm while also focusing on LLBH’s growth initiatives.

He previously spent nine years as president and COO of IMG Artists. Before that, he was president of Gemini Voice Solutions and an investment banker with Salomon Smith Barney. Fuhrman has also served as an advisor to a number of businesses in the film, music, luxury goods and industrial services sectors.

“We are thankful for Jeff’s steady hand and look forward to working with him as we continue to evolve into a world class Registered Investment Advisor with extensive resources and capabilities to offer our clients, enhanced opportunities for our employees and sustained value for the company,” said Kevin Burns, a founding partner at LLBH. 

“Jeff is ideally suited to help us reach this next phase of our development.”

LLBH, which has offices in Westport, CT and Los Angeles, CA, provides wealth management and family office services across the US.
