The two retirement industry veterans bring over 50 years of combined experience to Fiduciary Plan Advisors at HighTower (HTFPA). Vieth and Zients join the firm as managing directors.
They previously held senior leadership roles at T. Rowe Price, helping to grow the company’s retirement plan business. Working with the retirement plan services division, Vieth served as president and director for 15 years, and Zients served as senior vice president and director for 23 years. Prior to joining HTFPA, the two co-founded Act2, a retirement consulting practice based in Baltimore.
