Rockefeller Capital Management, a leading financial firm, which is built from the Rockefeller family of 139 years is reshuffling the leadership ranks within its global family office after a long-time executive resigned from their role.

Randazzo was previously working as the chief information officer at Morgan Stanley and has been with Rockefeller since 2018, when it began 200 employees. It currently employs 800 people.
The national field director of the private wealth unit Christopher Dupuy, has also been promoted to president. He has also been assigned to the position of co-head of the global family office along with Timothy O’Hara who is president of the family office services, a smaller division under the family office group, who will report to Fleming.
O’Hara joined Rockefeller from Goldman Sachs Ayco, while Dupuy joined from Merill Lynch.
Michael Outlaw, a divisional director of private wealth management, was also promoted and assigned to the newly created role of national field director of the global family office. He will be reporting to O’Hara and Dupuy.
The Rockefeller firm has grown and expanded rapidly since its launch in 2018. It oversees more than $85 billion in its family office, asset management, and strategic advisory services, which increased by $69 billion by the end of 2020.
The global family office is known for its aggressive growth, poaching tactics, and large teams due to its arm that houses family office advisory and private wealth.
New Hires for Tech and Ops

Before hiring Alexander, Rockefellers most recent high-profile move was their recruitment of Jim Ratigan of SVB Leerink in early August to strengthen the strategic advisory team’s deal-making.
