Miami-based Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services, a diversified financial services company, has launched its new enterprise-wide due diligence platform and named Thayer Gallison as the platform’s chief.
The platform will provide key functions such as product analysis, due diligence and ongoing performance monitoring for the five subsidiaries in Ladenburg’s network of independent advisory and brokerage firms: Securities America, Triad Advisors, Investacorp, KMS Financial Services and Securities Service Network.
Gallison, who will have the title of vice president and due diligence officer, will be based in Atlanta and report directly to Craig Timm, Ladenburg’s chief risk officer. Gallison held leadership positions for nearly seven years at Advisor Group, and also served as a senior investment analyst at MV Capital Management in Atlanta.
“I’m excited to join Ladenburg to build out an enterprise-wide due diligence platform that enables each Ladenburg IAB subsidiary to offer industry-leading due diligence, product analysis and monitoring capabilities to its advisors without having to build the full sweep of such resources on its own,” said Gallison in a statement.
Gallison will work with Ladenburg’s executive management team and spearhead product due diligence processes across the firm’s five IAB subsidiaries. He will also manage all existing due diligence team members across Ladenburg’s IAB subsidiaries, and will also be responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring procedures to support due diligence policy and management.
