David Pittman has been appointed to a newly created position of executive vice president of Strategic Blueprint, an independent registered advisor based in Atlanta, SFA Partners, the parent company, announced Wednesday.

Launched in April, Strategic Blueprint provides a platform for custody, clearing, product due diligence, technology, compliance and wealth management for independent financial advisors. Pittman will focus on attracting growth-oriented financial advisors to the platform.

Strategic Blueprint’s offering is designed for advisors who want to relinquish their broker-dealer registrations and forego commission-based work, but who do not want to establish an RIA.

Pittman has 16 years of experience in retail alternatives distribution, most recently with FS Investments, a retail alternative investments firm.
