SafeBridge Financial Group, a mortgage and wealth management firm, has announced the appointment of Ryan Sadler (pictured) as its new vice president of strategic partnerships.

In his new role, Sadler will focus on three main objectives: enhancing agent value, forming new partnerships, and maximizing the company’s private wealth offerings.

“His track record demonstrates that he truly cares for his brokers and agents after helping so many accomplish everything they are capable of.”

Before joining SafeBridge, Sadler was vice president of national sales at Mortgage Centre Canada. He also spent seven years at Scotia Mortgage Authority as a business development manager and three years at MCAP Mortgage in a similar role.

Elisseos Iriotakis, chief financial officer at SafeBridge, commented: “Ryan has been a steady, consistent leader in our industry and aligns perfectly with who we are today and where we are headed over the coming years. We’re excited for what the future of SafeBridge looks like and are honoured to have Ryan join us to make a lasting impact on our existing team and business.”
