Kara Valentine joined New York-based Dynasty as director of marketing from U.S. Trust, while Janessa Biller left Goldman Sachs to accept the role of Dynastys vice president of relationship management.
Valentine will report to Shirl Penney, President and chief executive of Dynasty.

Prior to her tenure with Goldman Sachs, Biller started her career with UBS. At Dynasty, she will report to Ed Swenson, chief operating officer of Dynasty.
