Cambridge is pleased to announce Colleen Bell has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Fiduciary Services and Chief Fiduciary Service Officer. In this role, Bell will provide executive oversight for the service, solutions, and support delivered by Cambridge’s Operations team while overseeing the Fiduciary Services department. Her responsibilities also include creating strategies for fee-based programs, retirement plan platforms, and advisory compliance.

“Colleen has been instrumental in the collaborative leadership and development of Cambridge’s innovative solutions,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Amy Webber. “At Cambridge, we are focused on the financial professional with an independent mindset and dedication to best serving the needs of their investing clients, and Colleen will continue to play a key role in supporting Cambridge’s independent financial advisors in an ever-changing advice industry.”

Bell joined Cambridge in 2006 and has played a key role in leading Cambridge’s Fiduciary Services department – an important step by Cambridge regarding ongoing and anticipated regulatory change.
