Scott Skinner, a 30-year veteran of the financial services industry, was most recently the market director for the Central Texas Region of UBS. He started his career in 1993 at Merrill Lynch and moved to SunAmerica/AIG in 2009 before joining UBS in 2013.
Skinner will lead eight branch offices and 73 financial advisors who oversee $13.2 billion in client assets, the release noted.
“The top priorities for my new role are to continue RBC Wealth Management’s growth in southern Texas by recruiting seasoned, high-quality financial advisors and to foster a supportive and success-oriented work environment,” Skinner said in a prepared statement.
