PROVIDENCE -- Bank of America today appointed Jake Filoon as market trust executive in Providence, where he will lead the bank's efforts to attract the region's wealthiest depositors.

Filoon lives in Needham, Mass. He will be based in Providence and report to Robert Garty, northeast regional trust executive.

Before this appointment, Filoon worked for the bank's Global Wealth and Investment Management Products Group.

He began his career at Fleet Bank in 1990, and he has served in "various leadership roles across Bank of America and its predecessor organizations for more than 17 years, including the Private Bank of Bank of America and Columbia Management," according to Bank of America.

Filoon earned a bachelor’s degree from Colby College and a master's of business administration from Babson College.
