Firm continues to build a scaled, multi-channel distribution platform to support 2026 growth strategy

InspereX, the tech-driven distributor of fixed income, structured products, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and alternative investments, today announced the addition of three senior sales professionals to its RIA and Private Markets teams, further strengthening the firm’s national coverage model and positioning the platform for continued expansion in 2026.

Bob Graziano and Samantha Murphy have been named Vice Presidents, RIA Sales, reporting to Brandon Laczkowski, Managing Director and Head of RIA Sales. “These hires are part of a deliberate build-out of a scaled RIA distribution model,” said Mr. Laczkowski. “As advisor demand for structured investments, income solutions, and differentiated portfolio tools continues to grow, our strategy is to pair national platform capabilities with experienced, specialized coverage. Bob and Samantha deepen our ability to support RIAs with both product expertise and consultative implementation. This is an important step in building the infrastructure required to support our growth in 2026 and beyond, and it will not be the last addition to the team.”

Additionally, Daniel Church has been appointed Regional Vice President, Private Markets Solutions, reporting to Mark Whyman, Managing Director, Private Markets Solutions, and will support advisors across all of InspereX’s distribution channels. “Our private markets business is expanding, and that requires dedicated, senior-level coverage,” said Mr. Whyman. “Dan brings deep experience across private credit, real estate, and alternative strategies, and his role is to help scale distribution of these solutions across our entire advisor footprint in the southeastern United States. As we continue to broaden our product set and distribution reach, we are building a national team that can support advisors consistently.”
