It is with mixed emotion that I announce Scott Solod, our Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), has decided to pursue his career outside of National Life Group/ESI after 5 and a half years with the firm. He has contributed significantly to our organization over his tenure, building a strong Compliance area to carry us forward. Scott adapted our branch exam program during the pandemic, represented us in SEC and FINRA audits well, and created a strong and respectful partnership with our Distribution partners.
While we start the search to identify our next CCO, Greg Teese will assume the CCO responsibilities on an interim basis. Greg has performed this function in the past, for almost 20 years, and is fully qualified to perform the duties of the role again. Please feel free to reach out to him if you have any compliance-related questions.
Please join me in thanking Scott for all his contributions and wish him and his family well in his future endeavors. Scott’s last day in the office will be April 15.
~ Ata Azarshahi, President of ESI
