NEW YORK, Oct. 21  /PRNewswire/ -- Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., a unit of Oppenheimer Holdings, is pleased to announce that James B. (Jamie) Haass joined the firm as Executive Director and Branch Manager of the Firm's Denver office. Jamie reports to Bob Okin, Executive Vice President - National Sales.

"Jamie is focused not just on enhancing Oppenheimer's brand in Denver, but on overseeing all aspects of the growth of this branch. His experiences as a branch and divisional manager, along with his understanding of how to excel as a Financial Advisor and his commitment to the area, make him an outstanding choice for our franchise," Mr. Okin said.

Before moving to Oppenheimer, Jamie served as Vice President and Branch Manager at AGE/Wachovia Securities in Denver where he implemented programs for successful recruiting, coaching and training of Financial Advisors. Previously, he worked at firms including US Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Principal Financial Securities and Paine Webber, where he was honored for achievement.
