Global Trust Company Strengthens Business Team to Enhance Distribution Strategy

Global Trust Company Expands Team to Drive Distribution Strategy

In a significant move poised to reshape its business landscape, Global Trust Company (GTC) has announced the expansion of its business development team, welcoming three seasoned professionals: Victor Kwitkiwski, Jim Nolan, and Dan Roderigues. This strategic addition aims to facilitate GTC's ambitious distribution strategy, ensuring enhanced market presence and deeper partnerships within the institutional arena.

Leadership Changes Lead to Growth

Victor Kwitkiwski takes the helm as National Sales Manager, tasked with spearheading GTC's product distribution across various channels. Bringing over 25 years of expertise from the workplace retirement plans and investment sectors, Kwitkiwski transitions to GTC from BPAS, where he led Workplace Retirement Plan Sales. His experience in national advisor engagement and channel growth strategies will be instrumental in bolstering GTC’s Collective Investment Trust (CIT) platform and diversifying alternative investment offerings. Under his leadership, the company anticipates a robust expansion trajectory.

Jim Nolan, an established figure in financial services, joins as Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. Previously leading North American sales at Citi, Nolan will zero in on building and nurturing relationships with key intermediaries and strategic partners, thereby amplifying GTC’s institutional reach. His expertise in the distribution landscape will be critical in enhancing the company’s competitive posture.

Dan Roderigues assumes the role of Vice President of DCIO Distribution. With a solid background in defined contribution investment-only sales and a stint headed BPAS fiduciary services, Roderigues will focus on adviser and recordkeeper engagement. His efforts are geared towards elevating GTC's brand visibility among financial intermediaries and scaling adviser-led solutions.

A Vision for the Future

The appointments of Kwitkiwski, Nolan, and Roderigues signify a strategic effort by GTC to not just adapt but thrive amid evolving market dynamics. Vincent Manning, Chief Development Officer at GTC, expressed excitement at the unique talents each leader brings, stating that their combined experience would significantly influence the company’s growth chapter.

GTC prides itself on being among the largest third-party non-depository trust companies in the sector, delivering an array of directed and discretionary trustee services. Emphasizing a blend of innovation and institutional expertise, the company remains focused on adapting portfolio management strategies to align with changing market conditions, ensuring consistent performance for its clients.

Freddie Jacobs, Jr., the CEO of GTC, highlighted the company's firm belief in the strength of its personnel, remarking that the recent appointments reflect a pivotal moment in their commitment to elevate fiduciary-based solutions tailored for institutional investors and retirement plan sponsors.

As GTC embarks on this new phase, it aims to leverage these strategic hires to continue enhancing the value delivered to clients and partners alike, fostering an environment of growth, innovation, and engagement within the retirement and investment sectors.
