Two new professionals have joined Pinvest, the investment advisory arm of Ecuadorian financial group Pichincha in Miami. Francisco Badiola and Diana Zumaran were added to the firm’s roster this week, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Funds Society.
Badiola comes from Citi, where he spent nearly eight years, according to his LinkedIn profile. During his time at Citi, he held several positions, including Investment Counselor—his last role before moving to Pinvest—and VP Investment Associate at Citi Private Bank.
Previously, he worked at Mercantil Bank as a Wealth Management Operations Specialist and at Ocean Bank, where he rose to the position of Treasury Specialist. In total, he has a decade of experience in the financial industry.
Also coming from Citi, where she worked as an AML Compliance Analyst, Zumaran has joined the Miami-based firm as operations & compliance officer. She spent nearly four years at the investment bank, following her role as a personal banker at Wells Fargo. Before that, she worked in various non-financial industries.
Both professionals will report directly to Esteban Zorrilla, CEO of Pinvest. Zorrilla leads the Miami-based firm and also serves as head of private banking at Pichincha Corp.
Pinvest is a SEC-registered investment advisory firm. Its parent company, Grupo Financiero Pichincha, operates in the United States, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Spain.
