Professional Profile
Barrett Cornelius is a Vice President and Private Client Advisor with Bank of America Private Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. Barrett works closely with clients distinguished for their accomplishments and aspirations. Most are successful business owners – women and men for whom growing their enterprise is a key priority.

In addition to his own knowledge and insights, Barrett leads a select team of experienced specialists whose mission it is to help clients optimize their balance sheets and bolster their financial picture. Operating across a range of disciplines, the team provides investment management, asset preservation, tax minimization strategies and estate planning services, concentrated stock, restriction and grant strategies, business succession planning, credit and lending, and philanthropic services.
Prior to joining the Private Bank (formerly U.S. Trust) in 2019, Barrett served high-net-worth clients for four years as a Merrill financial advisor.
Originally from Atlanta, Barrett attended Woodward Academy and earned a Bachelor of Science in business administration, with a concentration in finance from Auburn University.
