Retirement Industry People Moves
Cash balance plan provider Kravitz has opened a regional headquarters in Atlanta to serve the demand for cash balance plans throughout the South and Southeast.
Kravitz tapped Atlanta resident and retirement plan sales expert Shannon Hayes to lead the new office.
Hayes brings more than a decade of retirement industry experience to Kravitz, including experience at The Hartford, Edward Jones and Mass Mutual. Most recently, she doubled sales in the Atlanta region for a national third-party administration (TPA) firm.
“I really look forward to growing relationships with the Kravitz network of financial advisers, CPAs and partner TPA firms across the Southeast,” Hayes says. That network includes more than 300 retirement professionals in the local area who have completed the Kravitz Cash Balance Coach Certification program.
