NEW YORK, N.Y. — KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY), parent company of KeyBank, announced that Robert Weiss has joined as head of its Key Family Wealth business unit.
He will be tasked with growing Key’s ultra-high net worth client segment. He is based in New York City and reports to Key Wealth President Joe Skarda.
Weiss brings to his role more than 20 years of senior leadership experience in wealth management, according to a KeyCorp news release. He joins Key from First Republic, now part of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. There, as regional business leader across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Weiss was responsible for overall growth, product strategy, and business-development planning.
Prior to First Republic, Weiss worked at SunTrust, where he established and led the Northeast Private Wealth Division. He also held leadership positions at Alliance Bernstein and was global head of Advice Lab for J.P. Morgan, where he led a team of wealth-management subject-matter experts to create and deliver intellectual capital to clients. Weiss earned an MBA in finance from the University at Buffalo.
Key Family Wealth, the multi-family office division of Key Private Bank, is one of the largest and oldest multi-family offices in the country — managing about $23 billion in assets under management.
KeyCorp’s roots trace back nearly 200 years to Albany. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Key is one of the nation’s largest bank-based financial-services companies, with assets of about $190 billion as of Sept. 30, 2024.
