The six individuals join the eight internal wholesaler new hires announced last August (see “Great-West Beefs Up Wholesaler Ratios”), making the internal wholesaler team total 25 people. Great-West Retirement Services said each internal wholesaler is assigned to a regional sales director to support in cultivating relationships with financial advisers and TPAs.

The new internal wholesalers are: Lisa Baca (New Jersey), Ron Grieve (Florida, Indiana, Mississippi), Sarah Melius (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina), Jackson Petefish (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee), Marc Rowe (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Southern California), Amy Ungles (Iowa, Minnesota).
