Advicent names new chief operating officer

Milwaukee, WI, Sept. 28, 2017 -- Advicent, the leading provider of financial planning technology, is pleased to announce the promotion of Anthony Stich to chief operating officer. In this role, Stich will lead the global operational strategy for the company.

Since joining the firm in August of 2015, Stich has quickly emerged as a thought leader in the industry and will seek to leverage his broader perspective in his new role. “As COO, I am looking forward to leading the charge on our customer experience,” says Stich. “At the end of the day, business is about relationships and we’re extremely focused on developing true partnerships with professionals who, in turn, can empower the financial lives of their clients. Given the rapidly growing demand for technology, I have become incredibly passionate about the Advicent mission to deliver next generation solutions and the flexibility that advisors and their clients deserve.”
