CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridgemark Strategies, the comprehensive independent consultancy for financial advisors and financial advisory firms seeking strategic planning, execution and advice in transitions and M&A, today announced an expansion of its deeply talented bench with the addition of Jason Hawn, Timari Robison and Travis Boak as recruiting consultants.

"The addition of Jason, Timari and Travis enhances our comprehensive recruiting, onboarding, transition, succession planning and business consulting expertise. Their experience across the independent, bank and wirehouse channels is a great complement to our strong team."

Over 50 Years of Collective Experience

The trio of executives bring a combined 50 years of recruiting experience garnered at leading enterprises in the wealth management industry to Bridgemark.

• A 17-year industry veteran, Hawn was a top-producing recruiter at Ameriprise Financial, where he helped transition some of the largest teams in the company's history. He spent 13 years with Mainstay Investments and Hartford Funds/Planco, where he serviced wirehouse, independent broker-dealer, RIA and Bank advisors nationwide as a wholesaler. Hawn graduated from the Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in business marketing.

- Timari Robison, Managing Director, Houston-Area

• Robison spent 25 years with Ameriprise, with over half of her tenure focused on Experienced Advisor Recruiting. Most recently, she led the Women Recruiting efforts across all three Ameriprise platforms setting firm-wide records. Robison studied international relations at the University of Minnesota.

- Travis Boak, Senior Vice President, Recruiting, Asheville, North Carolina-Area

Founded in 2013, Bridgemark Strategies has grown to 16 advisor-facing recruiting and business development specialists. It has worked with thousands of financial professionals and supported the successful transition of financial practices representing billions in assets annually. To help address demographic trends impacting the wealth management industry and help solidify the firm's position as a pre-eminent transition consultancy, last year the firm expanded its offerings to include Bridge Marketplace, a no-cost, curated database of financial advisory owners looking to add next-generation advisors to their firm.

"The only constant in the wealth management space is change. To maximize long-term success, professionals must stay ahead of the curve while navigating an increasingly complex landscape. They need custom strategies and solutions informed by a hard-earned understanding of critical technologies and industry trends," concluded Nash. "Mistakes are costly in terms of time, money and reputation. At Bridgemark Strategies, our focus on Feel, Fit, Financials™ puts our clients on the path that's right for them."
