“As the importance of seamless, integrated technology solutions continues to grow for both clients and advisors, Chris’s experience developing and implementing state-of-the-art solutions at large organizations is invaluable,” said Gregory Fleming, CEO and President of Rockefeller.

“Chris understands how top Advisors leverage technology to better serve their clients, and he will be critically important in developing the best-in-class tools that will underpin Rockefeller Wealth Management’s differentiated service offerings.”

Having launched this month following the acquisition of Rockefeller & Co., Rockefeller Capital Management is looking to become a premier financial advisory firm, a goal that Randazzo will play a key role in pursuing.
