Their extensive experience with advisor-focused technology fits seamlessly with TradePMR’s emphasis on streamlined processes and operational efficiency. Reporting directly to Victoria, each will play a crucial role in advancing TradePMR’s commitment to innovation within the Fusion technology platform.

“The Fusion platform’s momentum reflects our deep commitment to addressing the specific needs of our advisors,” added Victoria. “As we continue to expand our capabilities based on their input, having the right talent in place is essential.
