“Terry was a builder and a problem solver, and one of the finest individuals I’ve had the privilege to know and work alongside,” Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said in the statement. “His leadership on global wealth and investment management, helping to build a consolidated banking and wealth management business, is without a peer in our industry.”

Laughlin recently helped expand Bank of America’s presence in Pittsburgh, Moynihan said.
