New Operations Chief at TD Ameritrade

TD Ameritrade recently hired their first operations manager. Many would believe an online company would not need a traditional operations manager. As a matter of fact, TD Ameritrade never had anyone occupying this position. It is surprising that a company of this size would not have a manager solely dedicated to the operations of the firm. Being an online company, TD Ameritrade has countless transactions occurring daily. Information must flow smoothly and the information systems must be in place to support these processes. As a result, it is expected that TD Ameritrade would hire an operations manager with a strong technology background. The new hire, Marvin Adams, oversaw technology and led information-technology strategy and policy in his latest position. Maybe, Mr. Adams can provide cost saving insight to a company that is on the rise and continues to post outstanding financials.
