Virginia Business //February 2, 2025//
A Cuban native who grew up in Texas, Castellanos has led the Greater Washington, D.C., market for Merrill, the wealth management division of Bank of America, since 2022.
Before that, Castellanos was Merrill’s Greater Virginia market executive and the Hampton Roads market president for Bank of America. He also previously worked for Bank of America’s policy office, where he focused on cyber and international policy issues.
Before entering finance, Castellanos had an entirely other career: He spent two decades as a Foreign Service officer, serving in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. He was an associate with the National Intelligence Council and served on interagency boards where he helped guide U.S. policy, foreign collection and investments.
A George Mason University alumnus, Castellanos sits on the board of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
Last year, Castellanos and his team moved to Bank of America’s Greater Washington, D.C., headquarters at 1800 K St. NW.
