Shannon Lynne Perrin was named director of marketing at William D. Witter, confirmed Victor Ugolyn, president and CEO. The new position was created because the firm recently launched several institutional investment strategies, said Mr. Ugolyn. "She will be marketing our capabilities to the institutional marketplace, and this is our first concerted effort to target institutions," he added. Ms. Perrin was director of business development at EagleRock Capital. COO Jeff Radov said he will handle Ms. Perrin's responsibilities on an interim basis.
