Kabir Sethi, Managing Director and Chief Product Officer of LPL Financial will leave the company at the end of March, marking the end of his impactful eight-year tenure. This development arises from an internal reshuffling of business duties.

LPL Financial ensures shareholders that the transition following Sethi’s departure will go smoothly. They believe this reallocation of duties represents progress in adapting to an ever-changing financial scene.
Before joining LPL Financial in April 2022, Sethi headed digital at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. With him, he brought extensive expertise in digital innovation and strategy. His leadership in digitizing Merrill Lynch marked a valuable contribution to LPL Financial.
LPL Financial has made it clear that there are no immediate plans to refill his position.

At LPL, Sethi carried forward the work started by his predecessor, Burt White, enhancing the firm’s technology platform and refining its wealth management solutions. LPL Financial remains steadfast in its mission and is confident in its team’s ability to consistently implement it, even in light of these top-tier changes.
