The addition of the team, based in St Louis, continues a run of expansion developments at the family office business of Rockefeller Capital Management.

Rockefeller Global Family Office, part of New York-headquartered Rockefeller Capital Management, has added Gorin Ressel Wealth Partners to its Midwest division.

Led by managing director and private advisor Theresa Gorin and vice president and private advisor Tyler Ressel, the five-person group is based in St Louis. It also includes associate vice president and senior client associate Vonda Warren and client associates Melanie Kane and Rachel Portuondo. Gorin, who will report to Brett Thelander, Midwest divisional director at Rockefeller Global Family Office, joins the firm from Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.

“Gorin Ressel Wealth Partners joins our existing group of 16 elite private advisor teams based in the Midwest region,” national field director Michael Outlaw said.

As of March 31, Rockefeller Capital Management was responsible for more than $100 billion in client assets across its three business segments, Rockefeller Global Family Office, Rockefeller Asset Management, and Rockefeller Strategic Advisory.

In other news, as reported in April, Rockefeller Capital Management has partnered with the Rockefeller and the Desmarais dynasties as long-term strategic investors. The arrival of the Desmarais family into the RCM fold saw a prominent Canadian family becoming involved in the business.

In March, Rockefeller Global Family Office added Marchetti Porter Wealth Partners of San Francisco, California, to its Pacific Northwest division. In January RCM's Atlanta office was relocated to support the needs of its clients and the firm’s growing presence in the city.
