The US network of financial advisors has made two senior appointments.

Advisor Group, the US network of independent financial advisor firms, has appointed Greg Stockett as its new chief financial officer and Nina McKenna as chief legal officer and general counsel. McKenna's roles are new ones for the firm, it told this publication. In Stockett's case, he replaces Tom Lux, who had agreed to step in as Interim CFO until a permanent replacement could be found. 

Stockett is responsible for all finance, accounting and financial reporting functions for the business. In her roles, McKenna oversees the company’s legal and risk functions. Both will be located in Advisor Group’s Phoenix, AZ headquarters and will report directly to Jamie Price, President and chief executive.

Previously, Stockett was at REDI Global Technologies, a multi-asset execution management system used by large broker-dealers and their institutional trading clients, where he held dual roles as chief operations officer and chief financial officer. Prior to REDI, he held senior leadership positions with several financial firms, including BondDesk Group, Barra, and Deloitte & Touche, among others.

McKenna previously worked at Cetera Financial Group, where she served as chief legal officer and general counsel. Earlier roles include senior legal counsel at ING Americas’ Broker-Dealer Group, the law firm of Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal in its corporate and securities group, NASD Regulation in its District 4 Enforcement Department and Oppenheimer Industries. 

Advisor Group is comprised of FSC Securities Corporation, Royal Alliance Associates, SagePoint Financial and Woodbury Financial; its network serves more than 5,000 advisors, overseeing a total of $160 billion in client assets.
