Newport Appoints Two New Regional Directors
ORLANDO, Fla. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 4, 2008 --
The Newport Group announced that it has appointed Kris Krikorian and
David Semmler as Regional Directors, reporting to Newport’s
Chief Marketing Officer Tom Pittman. As Regional Directors, both Mr.
Krikorian and Mr. Semmler will develop business relationships and
identify market opportunities to promote the sale of Newport’s
retirement plan administration and investment services to third-party
intermediaries.
“As a full service provider of retirement and
benefit plans, Newport is fully committed to the qualified retirement
plan marketplace,” Pittman said. “Experienced
professionals such as Kris and David will help us to continue expanding
our reach in key regions of the country.”
Mr. Krikorian will cover the Southwest and will be based in Los Angeles.
Prior to joining Newport, he was Associate Vice President of a leading
retirement services team with Wachovia Securities. In that role, Mr.
Krikorian led a team of 401(k) plan advisors who worked with wholesalers
to deliver retirement products to plan sponsors. “Kris
has experience in both retirement plan administration and wholesaling,”
Pittman said. “His work with a large team of
financial advisors also gives him insight into the needs of advisors who
market Newport’s services.”
Mr. Semmler will be based in Denver and cover Newport’s
North Central and Northwest regions. Most recently, he was Vice
President and Regional Sales Manager of Matrix Financial Solutions,
where he developed new business opportunities for the Colorado-based
financial services firm. He has also worked with such firms as Charles
Schwab and Security Trust. “Dave’s
extensive relationships with financial institutions, third party
administrators and retirement plan and trust advisors will allow Newport
to strengthen its footprint in the Pacific Northwest,”
Pittman said.
“Especially during times of market
uncertainty, retirement plan participants need information, education,
and advice to help them effectively plan for retirement,”
Pittman added. “Kris and Dave join a great
team at Newport dedicated to providing these important disciplines to
plan sponsors and their employees.”
