He is a graduate of the FirstCaribbean executive leadership programme at the Wharton School of Business in the United States and a fellow of the British Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. Dan Wright who formely held the position of director, Private Wealth Management, will take up the position of managing director, Private Wealth Management and have additional regional responsibilities for CIBC Trust Company (Bahamas) Ltd and CIBC bank and Trust Company (Cayman) Ltd.
