CHICAGO, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridge Financial Technology (BridgeFT), a data-centric wealth management technology platform for registered investment advisors (RIAs), financial institutions, and FinTech innovators, today announced that Dave Hagen has been appointed Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).

As CCO, Hagen will lead BridgeFT's sales, business development, and marketing efforts, focusing on advancing the Company's go-to market strategy and revenue generating activities to accelerate business and market share growth.

"Dave's unmatched experience in financial services, coupled with his inclusive leadership style and industry network make for a perfect combination to lead our newly combined go-to market team as we enter our next phase of growth," said Joe Stensland, BridgeFT's CEO. "His collaborative approach will drive greater organizational focus and alignment and ensure our clients and partners realize the transformative power of our market-leading solutions to solve critical business challenges, make better data-driven decisions, manage risk, and ultimately drive more productivity. I am thrilled to be working with Dave again and look forward to partnering with him as we take the Company to the next level."

Prior to joining BridgeFT, Hagen was Vice President, Head of Digital Strategy and 3rd Party Integration for Goldman Sachs' RIA Custody business. In this role, he was responsible for leading digital platform expansion, strategic partnerships and investments, and integration solutions which included APIs, trading connectivity, and data delivery. Prior to Goldman Sachs, Hagen led the buildout and commercialization of Folio Financial's automated digital advice and custodial platform, overseeing product strategy, go-to market execution, and new business development. Before this role, Hagen was Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Scivantage, where he worked alongside Joe Stensland to transform the company into a Global FinTech 100 provider of wealth management software. Hagen also held a broad range of leadership roles at AINS, Inc., Rydex Investments (acquired by Guggenheim Partners), Thomson Financial (acquired Reuters Group), and FindLaw (acquired by Thomson Reuters).
