Lord Abbett Dispatches Wholesalers to the Field

Reported by Erin Kello

Lord Abbett is sending its wholesalers far afield to forge better relationships with advisors.

Twenty regional sales managers will be dispatched into the field from Abbett's Jersey City headquarters.

The effort will be led by Mike Brooks, a partner at the private wealth group – banks and independents West, and Tom Malone, his counterpart in the East. The two will also retain the duties of their original roles, and will continue to report to Bob Noelke, a partner with the private wealth group.

“We believe putting these sales professionals in the field increases our ability to address the specific needs of the bank and independent advisor and partner with these advisors to build lasting relationships," Noelke said.

The 20 regional managers will join the 50 regional managers who are already out covering the field for Lord Abbett. They are supported by 45 internal wholesalers.
