Securities America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg
Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE American: LTS, LTS PrA),
announced today that Jim Norwood is taking the helm of its
financial institutions division.
“This position reflects our commitment to the bank and credit
union space,” said Gregg Johnson, executive vice president of
branch office development and acquisitions at Securities America.
“There’s no one better for the position than Jim Norwood. He’s well
known and highly respected. He brings nearly three decades of
effective leadership in the financial services industry.”
Norwood has spent the bulk of his 30-year career working with
banks and credit unions in an executive leadership capacity and
played a critical role in building a significant financial
institutions division at one of the nation’s largest independent
brokerage firms. Most recently, he held the president’s chair at
Priority Financial Group (PFG), which joined Securities America’s
independent brokerage and advisory platform in October.
“Our team is extremely happy to see Jim join Securities
America,” said Mike Prior, PFG’s chief executive officer. “He has a
stellar reputation in the bank and credit union space and truly
cares about his clients. Securities America just made a strong
financial institutions division even better.”
Norwood said he is thrilled to be part of an organization with
such a highly engaged executive leadership team.
“Their vision and mine are the same – to continue our
development as the nation’s premier financial institutions
division,” he said.
The financial institution space is a highly competitive segment
of the industry, said Johnson, and Securities America is committed
to delivering all the tools and resources its current 139 financial
institutions need to excel.
“We’re also looking forward to continued growth,” he said. “Jim
will add to the momentum that Securities America has achieved. His
experience and knowledge will help expand our value proposition and
enhance the overall client experience at both the institution and
advisor levels.”
