Consulting firm FP Transitions added executives to its team who earlier worked for TD Ameritrade and the Financial Planning Association, as well as an executive who worked for firms including E-Trade and Fidelity Investments, the Lake Oswego, Oregon-based company said on Monday.
Each of the executives “brings extensive industry experience and a valuable perspective to the ever-growing” team at FPT, which provides valuation, succession planning and practice equity growth services to firms in the financial services industry, it said.

He will work with Marcus Hagood, who leads FPT’s Equity Management Solutions team. This represents a reunion for the them after they both started their careers and worked together at TD Ameritrade.
