PHOENIX, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Advisor Group, one of the nation's largest networks of independent wealth management firms, comprised of FSC Securities Corporation, Royal Alliance Associates, SagePoint Financial and Woodbury Financial, today announced the appointment of Lori Love to the newly-created role of Chief Customer Experience Officer, reporting directly to Advisor Group president and CEO Jamie Price.

The company has named Ms. Love to this position, effective immediately, as part of its commitment to leverage its growth momentum and increased scale to drive continuous investments in the talent and platforms that support service excellence across every touchpoint within its organization.

Mr. Price continued, "From the outset, we were enormously impressed by Lori's experience, leadership skills and strong cultural fit with our team.  We are excited to work closely with Lori as she leverages the operations and technology we have built in recent years as a springboard to launch the next stage of our plan for redefining our industry's advisor service experience model."

Lori Love, Chief Customer Experience Officer of Advisor Group, said, "I believe there is a remarkable opportunity to replicate the best practices other industries have painstakingly developed over the years, while adapting and augmenting them for the independent wealth management space.  I'm thrilled to join Advisor Group because the careful and deliberate investments the company has made over the years in its operations, technology and service organization uniquely position the company to leapfrog the rest of this industry as a service experience leader.  Jamie Price and the rest of Advisor Group's talented leadership team have mobilized around our shared mission of creating an elegant, frictionless and defect-free service journey for advisors that can boost their growth and help them achieve even greater levels of success. I look forward to all that we can accomplish together."
