Dec 07, 2012

Bridgetown, Barbados - CIBC FirstCaribbean has appointed former Scotiabank executive Dan Wright to the position of director, private wealth management.

An experienced wealth management and private banking leader, Wright most recently served as senior vice president and head of international wealth management for Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto with specific responsibility for their wealth management business in the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. He was also chair of the BNS trust company in the Bahamas and a director of a number of Caribbean-based businesses in the Cayman Islands and Jamaica.

"Dan will be leading the implementation of our new strategy to deliver a holistic advisory service to private wealth management clients of CIBC FirstCaribbean regionally and internationally," said Mark Young, managing director of Wealth Management for CIBC FirstCaribbean.

"He brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles that were for very similar regional geographies to our own, which makes me very confident he can provide a very compelling offer to our most valuable private banking client," Young added.

Wright will initially be based in CIBC FirstCaribbean's Cayman Islands office, which is one of its largest wealth management businesses.

CIBC FirstCaribbean has over 100 branches, banking centres and offices in 17 regional markets across the Caribbean and the world.
