Marie-Paule Sinyard grew up in the financial services industry and follows in the footsteps of both her father and grandfather in her quest to combine creativity and integrity to solve problems unique to affluent clients. “Our clients are family and I cannot think of anything more rewarding than using the advanced tools we have here at Legacy Bank to protect them, and honor their families and their businesses”

While earning her degree in International Trade and Finance from The University of Georgia, Marie-Paule gained her Series 7 and was the youngest licensed person in the country until her younger sister took over the title. Upon graduation, Marie-Paule worked with a consulting firm sending her on assignments that ranged from trading on the floor of the French Stock exchange in Paris to spearhead the investment program of a generations-old accounting firm in Chicago, Illinois.

Her assignment completed, Marie-Paule returned to Atlanta after being recruited by Merrill Lynch where she earned national accolades for her success in leading her affluent clients to profitable decisions and solving their family and business financial concerns. Her career later led her to the position of Personal Investment Advisor with First Union, where she was better able to serve both the banking and the investment needs of her valued clients.

Marie-Paule owned her own business for 8 years uniquely qualifying her to truly understand the needs, concerns, and issues of the entrepreneur. She joins the family of Legacy Bank with the shared perspective that customized private banking, without the conflicting goals of a large public institution, is the only way to provide the level of service our clients have earned.
