Independent broker/dealer network Advisor Group has hired Peter Clemson into a newly created role overseeing its “digital solutions” development. Clemson has spent the last four years building and running his own technology design and consultancy firm, Evati Inc. Before that, he was at Schwab for five years as an executive working with client-facing technology.
“We wanted to bring in much more of a direct-to-consumer mindset,” said Advisor Group CEO Jamie Price. “The industry has a view that being part of a regulated industry makes it difficult for that kind of thinking to happen and we just don’t buy that.”
Price said the role itself had been on the drawing board for more than a year and he was excited to bring Clemson onboard to focus on combining the technology successes Advisor Group had in rolling out its digital turnkey marketing and succession platform with the rest of the network’s systems as part of a complete digital strategy.
It was, Price said, about creating more efficiency and a seamless advisor workflow from application to application. This will include continued buildout of the eQuipt platform and its collaboration technology.
Clemson will report directly to Cindy Hamel, chief strategy and corporate development officer.
