Merit Financial Advisors announced that it has recruited former CAPTRUST executive David Wahler as its new vice president of strategic partnerships, serving as the firm’s primary liaison for its M&A partnerships.
Wahler will be responsible for sourcing new deals, creating relationships with investors and strategic partners, and working closely with CEO Rick Kent and president Kay Lynne Mayhue to enhance the firm’s capabilities for onboarded firms. His previous work in strategic growth at CAPTRUST resulted in closing 50 M&A transactions.
