Stratos Wealth Holdings has hired a new national business development manager as it seeks to grow its reach across the U.S.
Gary Kuhn joins the firm from workforce solutions firm Nesco Resource but was previously with MassMutual following its acquisition of MetLife’s advisor business where he began his career in MetLife Premier Client Group.
"The opportunity to join a growing firm with a goal towards growth and expansion provided me with perfect next step in my career,” Kuhn noted.
His business development and financial advisor talent acquisition experience over the past decade will be put to good use in his new role at Stratos where his ultimate goal is to attract and transition financial advisory teams and advisors.
"As we continue to seek out the most sophisticated and experienced teams in the RIA space, we are fortunate to have such an accomplished professional to help us in this endeavor. Gary will be vital to the next phase of our growth," said Stratos founder and CEO Jeff Concepcion.
