Larsen joins from Wells Fargo Advisors, while Decker, Lewis, and Miller transition from Edward Jones. Larsen spent more than 23 years at Wells Fargo. Decker was at Edward Jones for over nine years, while Lewis and Miller had been with the broker/dealer for more than 10 and 13 years, respectively. 

Larsen has 18 years of international business management experience, Decker focuses on business owners and executives, Lewis specializes in business owners and retirement planning, and Miller concentrates on young professionals and intergenerational wealth planning. 

Jordan Raniszeski, senior managing partner and founder of Carnegie Private Wealth, said, “Each of these professionals brings specialized skills and a shared understanding that success in wealth management comes from putting clients first. Their proven experience allows us to guide more families toward their aspirations while preserving the personal connections they’ve come to trust.”
