METRO CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments, a global investment management
firm, announced that it has hired private banker Joe Weidenbach, 30-year veteran and Regional
President of U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management as Head of Calamos
Wealth Management.
Calamos President and CEO John
Koudounis stated, "We continue to execute our strategic
growth plan which includes the further success and expansion of our
wealth management business. Joe brings extensive expertise to the
firm, and we welcome him to our deep bench of executive talent. In
addition to his breadth of experience, Joe shares our relentless
dedication to client service and excellence in investment
management, two key elements to our ongoing success."
As Regional President and senior executive of U.S. Bank Private
Wealth Management, Weidenbach served high-net-worth individuals and
families, and was responsible for performance, strategy, and
execution of the bank's East region. In his previous position as
Market Leader for J.P. Morgan Private Bank in Chicago, he consistently generated top-line
revenue growth, built client solutions across product and service
lines, and maintained close to a 100% client retention rate. Prior
to his private banking role, he spent several years as senior
executive for J.P. Morgan's Institutional Trust business.
"Over the past six years, John
Koudounis and I have collaborated to determine the
successful direction of the firm. Joe will guide our team of
advisors and build on the success of Calamos Wealth Management
going forward. Providing our clients with a comprehensive approach
to financial planning designed to grow and protect their wealth
remains just as critical today as it was when I founded the firm
almost 50 years ago," said John Calamos
Sr., Founder, Chairman & Global Chief Investment
Officer.
"Calamos has a distinguished heritage that has seen investors
through the ups and downs of market cycles for nearly 50 years.
Under the leadership of John Calamos
and John Koudounis, the firm is
well-positioned for the future by continuing to innovate and
deliver world-class products and services for clients. I am proud
to join this prestigious organization and look forward to working
with the entire team to help expand on its success," Weidenbach
said.
Weidenbach will join later in October and assumes the position
held by Joe Nader. "We thank Joe for
his years of service and wish him well in his new endeavors,"
Koudounis said.
