“NFP continues to invest in benefits offerings and demonstrates a commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions and services. This aligns perfectly with the values and philosophy we have put into practice for decades,” commented McAdam.
“Harold brings nearly 30 years of experience in the retirement and benefits space, managing specialized group plans for a range of organizations,” said NFP Canada president Greg Padovani, who added that NFP welcomes McAdam and his team of “well-respected, high-performing producers” to the family.
