About Steven Whitman

Over the course of my thirty+ years of experience in the financial services and retirement industry, there has been significant change - whether regulatory, compliance, investment suitability or the introduction and growth of target date funds. There is also corporate mergers & acquisitions, record keeping consolidation, financial wellness and the rise in litigation over fees (and other factors) in DC plans. My primary focus is aligning de-risking solutions for retirement plan fiduciaries by leveraging extensive industry acumen as a subject matter expert and trusted consultant to the C-suite and key influencers.Specialties- Fiduciary oversight- Retirement product knowledge- Investment design - M&A/private equity- Competitive landscape - consulting firms/retirement vendors, asset managers- Relationship buildingRetirement - Corporate SegmentFINRA Series 6, 7, 63, 66Life and Health, Variable contractsOutside of work, I can generally be found on a \"field\" either coaching my youngest daughter\'s soccer team or as a spectator watching my other two girls swing at a softball or run with a lacrosse stick - it\'s an incredible experience but going by much too quickly!
