SPEAKER: 

L. Kelly LaVigne, JD
Director, Transamerica Advanced Markets

Kelly joined Transamerica’s Advanced Markets team with over 20 years experience in the financial services industry. Most recently he was Vice President of AXA Advanced Markets where he formed and headed a team of attorneys and financial services professionals who consulted on a broad range of topics including wealth and legacy planning, IRA and qualified plan strategies, and retirement income planning focusing on how annuities can help in these scenarios. During his tenure at AXA Kelly and his team wrote and published a book for financial professionals that examined the requisite skills and expertise necessary for financial advisors to attract and maintain clients who are planning for retirement. Under his leadership, the team became proficient in many of the subjects beyond annuity applications such as Social Security, Medicare, and long term care. Preceding AXA, Kelly led both the Advanced Markets and Continuing Education departments at ING Americas.

This meeting is sponsored by Transamerica Capital, Inc.
