After graduating from Western University in London, Ontario, Brent spent 10 years as an IG Advisor, Division Manager and Regional Vice-President. This experience gave him a broad insight into what makes IG clients tick.
“Everyone’s journey is different,” he says, “and it’s not easy to achieve financial freedom, to save for the future. Time and time again I’ve seen how having a solid financial plan makes a big difference to people’s lives.”
This deep understanding of the challenges faced by both IG’s clients and IG Advisors has helped Brent during his IG career, including in roles as VP Private Wealth Management and VP Practice Management.
In his previous position as Head of Strategy and Business Operations, one of Brent’s key responsibilities was to find and introduce new ways to make it easier and more convenient for IG’s clients to save for their future, protect the wealth they’ve accumulated and reach their financial goals. He was constantly looking for ways to improve IG’s processes, including developing tools for financial planning, estate planning, tax efficiencies, insurance and mortgages, as well as innovations that elevate the client-advisor experience.
Brent currently oversees sales and distribution operations, business development and the three IG advisor channels.
“Our priority is to be there for our clients every step of the way,” says Brent. “We want them to feel confident that, with the planning expertise, financial software systems and broad range of investment solutions that we provide, when they follow the advice they receive from their IG Advisor, they’ll reach all of their goals.”
