The new managing director has 20 years' experience and has worked with athletes and celebrities.

Family-owned Bruderman Asset Management has appointed Andrew LeBlanc as managing director of its private wealth services.

In addition to working with his existing clientele, which includes athletes and celebrities, Le Blanc will work with the firm’s ultra high-net worth clients, the firm said yesterday in a statement.

“Drew meets all of the requirements of a Bruderman employee; he’s a brilliant wealth management advisor with over 20 years of experience,” said Matt Bruderman, chairman. “He operates with the highest level of integrity. I am thrilled that Drew has joined Bruderman and I look forward to working closely with him."

In March the New York-based firm appointed Stephanie Torosion as managing director of its wealth planning and family office services.
