The CFP Board this week named Kevin Roth as managing director of research.
Roth most recently served as the vice president of research at the National Recreation and Park Association. Prior to that he directed the research agenda for the Association for Financial Professionals.
In his new Washington, D.C.-based role, Roth will lead the CFP Board’s research enterprise, including work into determining the impact of financial planning.
“The managing director of research will spearhead innovative research projects, showcasing the value of CFP certification to various audiences, including the general public, policymakers, firms and financial advisors,” said CFP Board CEO Kevin R. Keller in released comments. “With his decades of experience leading research development, Kevin is exceptionally suited to lead and expand our research efforts in the face of growing demand for data.”
