Joining Mr Forgione is Peter Raymond, associate group director, and Pin Lee, senior client associate. Both Mr Raymond and Mr Lee have worked directly with Mr Forgione for the past five years. The appointment of Mr Forgione’s team brings the number of private client banking teams based in Melville, which opened in May of 2004, to three.
