Scott Curtis speaks at a conference hosted by Raymond James' independent channel in 2016.
Raymond James says that executives Scott Curtis, Tash Elwyn and Jodi Perry will be assuming new responsibilities at the firm. The shifts are related to COO Dennis Zank's retirement, set for Sept. 30.
Curtis, head of the independent-advisor channel, now leads the firm's broader Private Client Group. Elwyn, who is in charge of the employee channel, is being tapped as president and CEO of Raymond James & Associates' broker-dealer, adding regulatory oversight and reporting tasks to his role.
"Scott and Tash have both done an outstanding job leading our PCG business — attracting and retaining many of the profession's leading financial advisors and supporting their clients," according to Chairman and CEO Paul Reilly. "With Scott's deep experience and institutional knowledge, we are excited for his potential to drive cross-organizational leadership and continued success for our wealth management business."
Prior to his current role, Curtis was a senior vice president of RJA PCG for six years. Earlier, he supported both domestic PCG businesses as president of the firm's insurance group, Planning Corporation of America (now Raymond James Insurance Group). He joined the firm 15 years ago from GE Financial.
