Baird said late Monday that Chris Brewster has joined Baird from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney to lead the firm's wealth management offices in Columbus, Ohio.
Brewster has more than 16 years of experience in the financial-services industry, both as a financial advisor and in branch management, according to Baird. He was a non-producing manager of the Columbus-Easton branch of MSSB from 2005 until 2010.
Baird says Brewster joins the wealth-management firm as a non-producing manager of the Columbus office, which has 10 financial advisors and 27 associates. Baird also has a wealth management and fixed income capital markets presence in Columbus.
"Chris is a tremendous addition to our Private Wealth Management branch management team and to Baird," said Matt Curley, national sales director and chief operating officer for Baird's Private Wealth Management group.
