RBC Wealth Management has hired David Upin to be senior vice president in the firms Minneapolis Complex.
Upin, who has nearly thirty years of industry experience, was formerly a managing director at Wells Fargo where he oversaw $110 million and produced $1.5 million.
He began his career with Bear, Stearns & Co. in 1984 and has also spent time at Dain Rauscher, Morgan Stanley and Stifel Nicolaus, according to public records with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Kevin Ketelsleger, the director of the three offices under RBCs Minneapolis complex, said that he believes Upin was looking for a smaller firm and enjoyed being at the home office and close by the executive management (who work in the same building).
