US brokerage firm Wachovia Securities has appointed former MetLife VP Dorian Hansen as its new director of banking services. Hansen is charged with helping the firm’s financial advisors to “more extensively leverage” the capabilities of Wachovia Bank, an official statement said.
“Over the past two years, Wachovia Securities financial advisors have had substantial success providing their clients with traditional banking products, highlighted by the origination of $4 billion of loans in 2006,” says Brand Meyer, president of the financial services group of Wachovia Securities. “While we are pleased with this success, a leader of Dorian Hansen’s caliber will help us tap the full potential of our financial advisors and Wachovia Bank.”
Wachovia Securities is the US’s third largest service retail brokerage firm with more than $730 billion in client assets.
