Vontobel has appointed Donald Gentile and Mariana Zubritski-Corovic as National RIA Sales and Consultant Relations Manager, respectively. These newly created roles support the firm’s client-focused commitment and expanded direct distribution efforts.

Donald Gentile will be responsible for building and strengthening client relationships, focused primarily on distributing Vontobel’s mutual fund and SMA offerings to the registered investment advisor (RIA) market across the US. Prior to joining Vontobel, Donald spent more than 20 years at Putnam Investments, where he held various senior roles in sales and marketing, including most recently as director of RIA sales.

Mariana Zubritski-Corovic will focus on strengthening the firm’s consultant engagements. With nearly 20 years of global institutional experience, Mariana joins Vontobel from Dimensional Fund Advisors, where she led several global consultant relationships. Previously, she was at Mercer Investment Consulting, where she worked in both the US and Canada in various roles including field consultant, as well as strategic research and investment analyst.

“Mariana and Donald have a strong track record working closely with clients to bring them tailored investment solutions, and share our client-centric and investment-led values,” said José Luis Ezcurra, Head Institutional Clients Americas. “At Vontobel, we are committed to enhancing our presence in the US with a solutions-oriented approach across asset classes, helping investors meet their long-term financial goals.”

These hires support Vontobel’s continued growth strategy in the US. On April 22, 2024, Vontobel launched a new addition to its mutual fund suite, further bolstering the firm’s direct distribution to US intermediaries.
