Snowden Lane Partners, announced that former Fieldpoint Private Managing Director and Senior Advisor, Thomas Conway, has joined the firm to lead the latest wealth management team to join the fast-growing RIA.
Based in Snowden Lane’s New York City headquarters, The Conway Group is the third team to join the firm in recent weeks.
A top-ranked financial advisor for over 30 years, Conway specializes in working with ultra-high-net-worth families and entrepreneurs, focusing on multi-generational wealth planning, gifting, philanthropy, investments, banking and credit, and business strategies.
He joins Snowden Lane as a Senior Partner and Managing Director alongside Daysi Leiva, who will serve as a Senior Registered Client Relationship Manager with The Conway Group.
“We are excited to welcome Tom and Daysi to Snowden Lane, as both have earned tremendous reputations in our industry,” said Lyle LaMothe, Chairman of Snowden Lane Partners.
“Snowden Lane’s reputation made it the compelling option as I pursued the next chapter of my career, and I’m delighted to be joining the team,” said Thomas Conway.
“The firm has built a strong foundation grounded by a values-driven, boutique culture, that resonates strongly within the RIA space. I’m confident that Snowden Lane’s well-established platform will allow me to make a seamless transition and continue offering my clients industry-leading service that will ultimately help them achieve their goals,” he added.
Prior to Snowden Lane, Conway served as a Managing Director and Senior Advisor at Fieldpoint Private from 2012-2022, and before that had a 23-year career that began with Shearson Lehman Brothers and extended through its successor firm, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
Leiva began her 14-year financial services career in 2005 as a client service associate with what is now Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. She joined Fieldpoint Private as an Associate in 2012.
“We have great admiration and respect for Fieldpoint, and were thrilled with Tom and Daysi’s interest as they searched for a new opportunity,” said Rob Mooney, Managing Partner & CEO of Snowden Lane Partners. “In such a competitive and crowded landscape, it’s gratifying that they selected Snowden Lane, and we’re looking forward to the many contributions they’ll undoubtedly make to our culture and team.”
Since its founding in 2011, Snowden Lane has rapidly built a national brand, attracting top industry talent from Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, UBS, JP Morgan, Raymond James, and Wells Fargo, among others, the company said.
