Cartrell has been an assistant regional director for Raymond James Financial Services since 2012. He replaces Jodi Perry, who now serves as president of the RJFS Independent Contractor Division.

“With more than 25 years in our industry, and his experience working with advisors to develop their practices and service their clients, I’m confident Todd will continue to make an important impact on the advisors in the Southeast as regional director,” Perry said in a statement.

Gartrell first joined Raymond James in 2005 as a corporate training manager. He became the Suncoast Complex sales development manager for Raymond James’ employee channel in 2009 and later became a branch manager for Raymond James & Associate’s Sarasota office.

“I look forward to building upon our strong recruiting results and continuing to grow our division, while preserving our client-first culture for our advisors and their clients,” Gartrell explained in a statement.
