The group, led by managing director Hal Greer, includes VPs George Greer, Ryan Emory, and Sheri Haugabook, financial advisor Maggie Greer, and client associates Mai Kulkarni, Lois Renfroe, and Mary Charles Dunn. 

“I have worked closely with Hal over the years, and I know he will bring an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm to the awesome culture we have at Stifel,” Dick Ferguson, Stifel’s Southern region managing director, said.
