Vestwell, a recordkeeping platform for retirement and investing programs, has named Lori Hardwick as its board chair and also appointed Mary Dent, the former CEO of Green Dot Bank, to its board of directors.
Hardwick, who joined Vestwell's board in 2017, is set to assume "an expanded role in the firm, as the company continues its rapid growth and expansion in the workplace savings industry," according to a statement. In this post, she will work closely with Vestwell CEO Aaron Schumm.
"I feel very privileged to have had a front-row seat from the very early days of Vestwell as an advisor, board director, and now as chair," Hardwick said in the statement. "It's been exciting to witness first hand the incredible work the team is doing as they are making a significant impact by closing the retirement gap in this country. Helping Aaron execute on his vision to reshape the industry is a true honor and I am excited and proud to take on the expanded role as chair."
