With the relationships he has developed throughout his career, he will be vital to developing our existing selling groups and expanding their size by adding more high-quality broker-dealers and RIAs. We think his relationships are very complementary to those that we already have, and we think Sean will fit in well with the other teams within The Gladstone Companies," said John Kent, Head of Capital Markets at The Gladstone Companies.
