It will be led by vice president Bea Broderick.
“Boston’s high concentration of technology, financial and professional services firms made it a natural place for us to establish a physical presence,” Broderick told O’Dwyer’s. “As a talent rich market, there’s also a tremendous opportunity for us to grow our experienced team and service clients throughout the region.”
