West side story

Amy West, an athlete since she was a kid, likens her new executive role with PNC's wealth management division as a “team captain.”

West was recently promoted to investment director for the Florida West market of PNC Wealth Management. Her region spreads from Naples to Tallahassee to Central Florida. Based in Naples, West has been with PNC for 15 years. In her new role, West will oversee a team of advisers. She will also continue managing her existing multimillion-dollar investment book of business.

West recently sat down with the Business Observer to talk about her career and new role. Here are excerpts of the conversation.
