With 30 years of investment and capital markets industry experience, Paul Citarell will spearhead growth of the firm’s mutual funds and private markets offerings to clients in the region.

“Paul’s deep expertise and established track record in building client relationships will be a valuable asset to our team, expanding access to our diverse portfolio of curated investment solutions that make portfolios better,” said Darrell Crate, founder and managing principal at Easterly Asset Management. “We’re excited to have him join our team as we continue to expand our distribution network to financial advisors and RIAs throughout the Northeast.”

His career also includes VP of sales at Nuveen and Fisher Investments and he holds a Certified Investment Management Analyst designation.

"Paul coming on board will help us to both meet and extend the growing demand from RIAs and financial advisors for our solutions across public and private markets.”  

As well as Juliano and Citarell, the firm’s leadership hires over the past year also includes Genna Brounstein and Jennifer Cahill in the newly created roles of senior vice presidents of Private Market Sales.
