Modern technology and digital marketing have changed how we engage and communicate, but success in sales is still rooted in relationships. As a Managing Director at Raymond James, I have built a reputation for establishing and maturing beneficial partnerships with some of the world's largest corporations, pension plans, foundations, and endowments. This long-term, relationship-driven approach has been key to my executive career trajectory - earning top-tier success in an industry where 7 out of 10 fail. Driving results as both a team leader/coach and an individual contributor, I oversee the entire business development lifecycle - from opportunity identification through deal structuring, negotiation, and capture. By analyzing trade-driven equity/debt markets, politics, and economic trends, I design actionable strategies and earn "buy-in" from critical stakeholders. Working directly with banks, health systems, insurance companies, municipalities, and endowments on $250K to $25M fixed income transactions, I have consistently outpaced aggressive targets in evolving, complex, and niche segments.Previous experience included upward mobility through leadership roles in banking/financial services that culminated as VP, Compass Bank (currently BBVA). I'm on LinkedIn to grow my professional network and I welcome new connections! You can also reach me directly via email: 📧 greg.vedel@raymondjames.com
