“We are excited to have Tom join our team at this critical and exciting time in your company’s history and story,” said Helwig. “I have known and worked with Tom for over a decade and have always admired his business acumen and talent. He has always operated with the highest level of integrity, fairness, and transparency. He has a great desire to make sure customer’s needs are fully cared for while also being a great mentor and leader to his colleagues. Above all, I have admired his character, humility, and drive. I couldn’t be more excited not just to welcome his business prowess, but above all, his personhood. I would like to congratulate him on his retirement from a storied 37-year career in our industry and welcome him to the Vested family.”
