We are also pleased to announce that Tim Ryder will step in to lead the Sentinel Operations team in addition to his current responsibilities as SVP – ESI Operations.  Tim joined National Life in 2016 and since then has led the transformation of ESI’s broker/dealer operations. Before joining ESI, Tim was Assistant Vice President, Wealth Management at 1st Global Advisors where he was responsible for fixed income trading and advisory operations. Prior to that, he held various operational leadership positions with JPMorgan, Citigroup and Edward Jones.  Tim personifies our servant leadership values and we are confident that his skills and experience will serve him well in his expanded role.  Tim will continue to report directly to Lance with a dotted line to Bob for his new Sentinel responsibilities.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa and Tim on their new roles.
