Having access to help and subject matter experts is so important - like the marketing department who supports me with everything I need. They save me hundreds of hours (literally) on work so that I can go ahead and tell my story, and work with clients to find them financial solutions. I've never had that before, they're right in my back pocket – supporting me and my business – it's really amazing.

John leads the firm’s initiatives to attract top performing Advisors. He’s driven to help Advisors build a better business by helping them implement strategies to increase their operational efficiency and establish their personal brand while growing their business.
While obtaining his MBA at Queen’s and Cornell University, John developed an innovative new business model designed to support Advisors who are ready to monetize and transition their business seamlessly.
In his free time, he enjoys time with the people who helped him become who he is today – his family. An avid golfer, he's a huge fan of Toronto's major sports teams.
With over 25 years of financial services experience, Brent’s diverse background provides him a fulsome understanding of the Advisor business from having been an Advisor himself to branch management and client experience.
Brent has been with IPC for 8 years and prior to this role was the Relationship Manager in our Private Wealth business supporting both MFDA and IIROC Advisors with their High-Net-Worth client offering. From his time in Private Wealth, he understands the importance of having a strong dealer foundation and knows firsthand what IPC brings to the table for its Advisors. In addition, he holds his CIM and IIROC licences giving him investment management knowledge.
A sports fan, his teams are the Montreal Canadians, Denver Broncos, and the Toronto Blue Jays. He loves to travel and spend time with his family.
Ken is a seasoned, investment industry-leader with expertise in dealer-change consulting, business development and succession. A dealer move can be a complex and overwhelming consideration for most advisors, advisor teams and portfolio managers. Before making a decision to switch firms, you’ll benefit by having a conversation with Ken as your first step.
It all begins with an open dialogue. Advisors need expert help to differentiate between dealer business models, navigate the risk landscape associated with dealer-changes, and synthesize their due diligence effectively. In Ken’s experience, these are among the most important considerations to achieve the peace of mind that advisors are ultimately seeking when deciding to change firms.
Unless he’s with his son on the ice, a baseball diamond or a golf course, other passions that fulfill Ken are outdoor activities like waterskiing or snow skiing, and the indulgence of cooking a great meal while listening to musical favourites with the people he loves.

Mary Lou and her family love baseball. You’ll often find her on the diamond managing her son’s baseball team, or watching games. She is also experienced in sign language having taken several courses at the Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf.
