Clime Investment Management, which acquired Madison Financial Group in June 2020, has announced the appointment of Jaime Johns as the new general manager, effective immediately.
Johns has over 20 years’ experience in senior leadership roles and most recently she was head of advice at Madison.
Prior to joining Madison, Johns served as national network manager, Capstone Financial Planning.
Johns has also extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions for financial planning practices, business coaching and product development, in addition to involvement in industry working groups and licensee forums, the firm said.
