“With more than 11 years of experience, today it’s time to say goodbye to Puente, a firm that allowed me to learn, grow, and develop in the Wealth Management industry. Thank you to all the colleagues, clients, and friends who accompanied me on this journey, both in Uruguay and the United States. It has been a true pleasure to share this path with you,” Francia shared on LinkedIn.
The new Balanz hire also worked at SURA Uruguay and HSBC, always in the wealth management sector.
