Private equity-backed hybrid RIA Trilogy Financial Services has hired a new top advisor recruiter.

The $4.3bn wealth manager has brought aboard Jason Inglis to serve as its chief development officer. Inglis, who started working at Irvine, Calif.-based Trilogy on Monday, will report to chief executive Jeff Motske.

‘They’re already successful and growing,’ Inglis said of Trilogy. ‘The thought is that I can come in and really help us speed up a little bit. It’s not a monumental lift. It really is being part of a team and really being in a position to compete. There’s a lot of private equity in there, there’s a lot of advisor movement, and you need scale to compete.’  Read More.
