Diversified beefs up operations staff
Wealth management firm Diversified Trust has beefed up its operations team in Nashville with the hiring of two vice presidents and an investment analyst.
The two vice presidents of operations are Hale Kelleher and Joseph Kemble. Kelleher, who will coordinate account management functions and oversee processes and procedures, comes to Diversified from Wells Fargo. There, she spent 10 years as a VP and complex operations manager and helped develop and roll out various compliance and operations procedures.
Kemble, center in our photo, will lead key strategic initiatives for Diversified, which manages about $4 billion for clients. He has more than 15 years of experience in operations, client service and cash management services and has also worked at Deutsche Bank and Bankers Trust. Most recently, he was at Central Parking.
Also coming on board at Diversified is investment analyst John Robus, who will be responsible for investment operations activities. He has more than eight years of trading experience and was most recently director of equity trading at MindShare Capital Management in St. Louis. Robus has moved to Nashville, where Diversified earlier this year consolidated operations staff for its offices here and in Atlanta, Memphis and Greensboro, N.C.
“Hale, Joseph, and John are proven professionals with impressive skills sets that will be tremendous assets to all of our offices,” said John Seckman, president and COO of Diversified. “We are delighted to welcome them to Diversified Trust during this time of growth for our firm.”
