Raymond James’ Rob Baird to Step Down After 38 Years

Throughout his career, Baird has been instrumental to the firm's growth. According to Raymond James, Baird helped establish the division and shepherd its advancement to become a national practice and major underwriter of municipal bonds.

"For 38 years, Rob has been a talented and trusted colleague to our entire organization," John Carson, president of Raymond James Financial, said in a statement. "His strategic counsel has been invaluable to clients and to the firm as he grew our Public Finance practice to become an industry leader, and then successfully merged it into Raymond James in 2012. Rob will remain with the firm as an active member of our team, and I look forward to working with him for years to come."

Since joining Morgan Keegan in 1998, Murrey has been influential as a senior banker and manager in growing the Public Finance practice into one with 180 banking professionals in 26 locations nationwide.
