RIA platform provider Thrivent Advisor Network, which works with about $6.7 billion in assets, has hired industry veteran Carolyn Armitage, CFP, as its new leader. The former managing director at investment bank and consulting firm Echelon Partners will join the firm as its head Monday.
"In my prior role, I worked with a number of Thrivent Advisor Network teams, and I've come to have tremendous respect for the organization … ," said Armitage, in a statement. "I love helping organizations realize their vision and saw a terrific fit between my expertise in wealth management and what Thrivent Advisor Network is building."
During her four-plus years at Echelon, Armitage focused on helping CEOs make strategic planning decisions and build high-performance teams, for instance. Earlier, she led LPL Financial's Large Enterprise Business Management Consulting team for three years.
