Citizens Financial Group has added its 10th new advisory team to its rapidly expanding Private Wealth business, introducing CF Retirement Solutions, a New York–based group focused on corporate employer-sponsored retirement plans. The move extends Citizens’ capabilities in 401(k) advisory services for small and mid-sized businesses nationwide.
The team is led by Managing Directors Greg Cantone and Anthony Fella, both of whom bring extensive experience helping companies strengthen employee retirement programs. Their addition supports Citizens’ strategy to deliver more holistic financial services across Private Wealth, Private Banking, Commercial Banking, and Business Banking.
