""Rob helped build PNC's asset management group into one of the top 10 bank-held wealth managers in the United States, with total sales growth above 30 percent in each of the two last years and revenue approaching $1 billion,"" said James E. Rohr, chairman and CEO at PNC. ""We believe he is the right person to advance the work of Rick Johnson.
