Nationwide Financial appoints vice president
Nationwide Financial, a division of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Group, has appointed a new western regional vice president of Nationwide Retirement Solutions.
Kent Morris replaces Rob Bilo, who transitioned to an expanded role in business development and strategic partnerships within Nationwide Financial.
Morris joins Nationwide after more than two decades as a manager at Great-West Financial and as an independent consultant.
Morris will be responsible for public sector retirement solutions, sales and client relationship management across the western US. He will lead a team of 60 Nationwide Financial representatives in 11 states.
“Kent will be a valuable addition to the Nationwide team. His values match Nationwide’s expectations that our representatives help plan sponsors develop solutions and encourage positive participant outcomes,” said Eric Stevenson, senior vice president & chief sales officer for Nationwide Retirement Solutions. “Nationwide Financial is committed to helping America prepare for and live in retirement, and Kent shares that vision.”
Morris said: “Nationwide’s culture of operating as one team puts serving plan sponsors and participants first, and its substantial investment in developing its associates is something that I’ve never seen before. No company is better positioned than Nationwide to help solve America’s retirement crisis, and I’m excited to be part of that solution.”
