Goldman Sachs JBWere BDM bags top award
Goldman Sachs JBWere business development manager Matthew Stovold has beaten a record entry of nominations to take out the 2004 Money Management/Tribeca Communications Business Development Manager (BDM) of the Year Award.
Stovold received the top award ahead ofING Life's Mark Neil and Robert Holloway fromMerrill Lynchwho took out second and third place respectively.
Stovold, who has been with Goldman Sachs JB Were for more than three years, impressed the judges with his level of technical skills, product knowledge, practice development, adviser relations and the level of support he received from planners in the voting process.
"The calibre of this year's award finalists were truly excellent and the judges had a challenging time separating them. The number of adviser nominations that many of the finalists received reflect the standing and support these BDMs have in the wider planning community," BDM judge Jayson Forrest says.
