Pershing Advisor Solutions CEO Mark Tibergien was one of seven industry executives to be recognized in the January issue of Financial Planning magazine as one of its "Movers & Shakers" for 2008. The publication chose each of the executives based on their roles and the impact they could have in helping to shape the future of the financial planning industry.

During Mark's 31 years in the business, he has experienced first-hand the impressive growth of the financial planning profession and the rapidly changing needs of independent registered investment advisors (RIAs). In an interview with Financial Planning, he explained Pershing's goal to redefine the clearing and custodial relationships the firm has with its RIA customers and its objective to help them meet, head-on, many of the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis.
