Former Position

Regional president, West Florida

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. today announces that Lisa Simington has joined PNC Asset Management Group as the regional head of Florida for PNC Wealth Management and Hawthorn. In this role, she will oversee all aspects of client service and acquisition for PNC’s personal wealth businesses, while managing teams with expertise spanning the wealth continuum across the state.
The appointment of Simington is part of PNC’s ambitious plans to expand its long-standing commitment to Florida through new leadership and additional investment in its personal wealth management businesses across the region.
PNC’s high and ultra-high net worth businesses, Wealth Management and Hawthorn, respectively, already have a strong presence in Florida by way of the existing 12 locations throughout the state. Moving forward, PNC will bolster its efforts in serving clients across Florida through both accelerated investment in existing locations and expansion into new locations. PNC’s wealth clients also can take advantage of PNC’s broader 169 retail branches across Florida.
“With our proven expertise across the wealth spectrum, PNC is uniquely positioned to broaden the reach of its high and ultra-high net worth client services in Florida,” said Don Heberle, executive vice president, head of Wealth Management. “We have already established a strong presence across the state, and we are committed to making the further investments needed to grow in this important region.”
Simington brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services to her new role. She joins PNC from BNY Mellon Wealth Management, where she was the Regional President for the West Florida region, covering Orlando, Tampa and Naples.
In her prior role, Simington managed all new business development, portfolio management, trust administration, estate planning and private banking activities for high and ultra-high net worth clients within the region. She also held numerous leadership roles in both commercial banking and wealth management at Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs.
“We are thrilled that Lisa is bringing her deep knowledge of the wealth management space to lead our continued efforts in this key state,” said Heberle. “Lisa’s broad experience will be invaluable as we position ourselves for further growth in Florida, while continuing to offer unparalleled services to individuals and families with personal wealth.”
Simington will lead the whole of PNC’s personal asset management efforts from Tampa, where she resides with her family.
