Ridgeworth to Create Retail Sales Team
Ridgeworth Investments has chosen Bob Kuberski to build and lead a retail sales team in the newly-created role of National Sales Manager for the Retail Advisor channel.
Reported by Nicole Bliman
Kuberski will be responsible for building a team of five to seven wealth consultants who will primarily call on advisers affiliated with broker/dealers and registered investment advisers (RIAs), according to a press release.
“RidgeWorth has shown the ability to acquire significant assets from retail advisers in the absence of a team tailored to their needs,” said Kuberski. “Given the opportunity to form a highly effective group of consultants, and our ability to communicate RidgeWorth’s real value proposition directly to advisers, I am confident that we will see substantial growth in the retail channel in years to come.”
Prior to joining RidgeWorth, he was a Regional Vice President with Invesco. From 1995 – 2000, he played professional football for the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots and worked for Morgan Stanley as a financial adviser in the off-season. He lives in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy.
