“Making sure everything is safe, secure, and suitable for both individual and institutional clients,” is the way Brad Stark, new Compliance Manager at Innovative Portfolios, describes his mission. A seasoned professional, Stark brings to his new role more than two decades of experience in financial trading, research, and interpretation of regulations. His impressive resume includes administrative positions with Graydon Compliance services, Bedel Financial Consulting, AIG Advisor Group, and Dinsmore Compliance Services. Because his responsibilities have often included participating in investment committees and performing investment due diligence, Stark is looking forward to his responsibilities at Innovative Portfolios and its affiliate firm, Sheaff Brock. Married with one young son, Brad Stark feels particularly gratified to have joined such a welcoming professional culture, with everyone working together to help the firm’s clients achieve their goals through active portfoio management.

Our second newcomer, Tiffany Kryder, brings a wealth of experience to her new role as Operations Manager for Innovative Portfolios and Sheaff Brock. As Operations Manager at Freedom Mortgage, Tiffany managed teams of employees located around the world, developing inter-departmental systems to increase operational efficiency. Although well-versed in compliance and operations, Kryder is especially excited to learn more about the operations side of securities trading and about option overlay strategies. A resident of Carmel along with her fiancé and two children, Kryder appreciates the welcoming, collaborative culture she’s found at Innovative Portfolios, describing her mission going forward as “evaluating day-to-day operations and increasing efficiency.”
