Ascensus announced July 14 that Kasey Price, the firm’s head of Sales, will assume the role of President of FuturePlan by Ascensus on Aug. 1, 2022.
She will succeed Teresa Hassara, who is leaving the company at the end of July to assume a new leadership role in the financial services industry. Price will report directly to Ascensus President and CEO David Musto and join Ascensus’ executive leadership team.
“One of the many valuable attributes Ascensus brings to those we serve is the breadth and depth of our leadership,” said Musto. “As a result, we are able to turn to a leader of Kasey’s experience, industry perspective, and company knowledge without delay, ensuring this leadership transition will be both smooth and successful.
“Kasey’s leadership has driven consistent growth in sales revenue, added new business and retained relationships, and fostered our significantly enhanced sales presence across the markets we serve, Musto continued. “She is highly respected as a leader in our industry and admired both personally and professionally by partner and competitor alike.”
Price has served as head of Sales for FuturePlan since January 2021, and brings more than 25 years of retirement industry experience to her new role. Prior to joining FuturePlan in 2017, she was a founding partner and CEO of Georgia-based Retirement Strategies, Inc. (RSI), a third-party administration firm known for its strong strategic partnerships with advisors and recordkeepers. She joined the Ascensus leadership team when Ascensus acquired RSI that same year.
Hassara has served as President of FuturePlan since April 2021. She will remain with the company through July 29 to aid in the leadership transition.
