Raymond James Taps Exec to Oversee Independent Contractors

Perry began her career with Raymond James as an operations associate in 1994. She has since worked for the firm's Asset Management Services and RJFS Business Development.

"She has been influential in expanding RJFS' presence in the Southeast and providing exceptional support for financial advisors in her region. With over two decades of experience successfully supporting and recruiting financial advisors, Jodi is a natural fit for this new position," Curtis said.

Raymond James Private Client Group grew year-over-year revenue 17% to $1.27 billion in the most recent quarter. Its pretax income was $157.6 million.

"I am honored to be selected as Raymond James Financial Services' national director," said Perry, in a statement. "It's been my pleasure to work with and support our independent advisors as the Southeast regional director, and I'm excited to expand that support to all advisors in the Independent Contractors Division."

Two months ago, Raymond James' independent channel added Brent Randol to support recruiting in Northern California and Northern Nevada and Rollin Ellis to manage recruiting in the Pacific Northwest.
