"The specialized expertise and leadership experience he brings will serve as key assets to our clients in San Diego and Hawaii. We congratulate him on this opportunity."
Rutter, who has an extensive background in sales, most recently served as RVP of Retirement Plan Services Bank Channel. In her new position, she will be based in the company's Irvine sales and service office. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University.
"Bridgette first joined John Hancock as a sales associate in the Bank Channel and quickly established herself as one of our company's up and coming stars. As Bank Channel RVP, she was able to grow new revenue by an impressive 30 percent," said Bruns. "We congratulate her on this move and have every confidence that her drive and enthusiasm will be well received by our clients in the Orange County region."
