Broker opens Melville branch

The independent broker and investment banking company Charles Vista LLC has opened a branch office in Melville, at 1121 Walt Whitman Rd., creating eight jobs, the company said.

It is the Manhattan company’s first branch office. The opening “marks the first step in the national expansion of Charles Vista,” the company said in a news release. The company’s main office is at 100 William St. in Manhattan.

“At Charles Vista we place great importance on serving our clients, but also on providing young brokers with opportunities to build their careers; this office achieves both,” Gregg Lorenzo, the company founder, said in the release.

Branch manager Patricia Giglia will oversee a staff of seven brokers.

“The expansion beyond the confines of Manhattan's financial district further solidifies Charles Vista’s commitment to offering its clients institutional caliber products and infrastructure at the retail level,” Lorenzo said.
