Harrington, however, is one of those professionals who knows his way around the retirement planning business. He has spent the better part of his career spearheading efforts to develop those types of products at leading companies like LPL Financial. When he was at the independent broker-dealer, Harrington served as senior vice president in LPL Financial's Retirement Solutions Division, responsible for developing product and marketing offerings. There, Harrington widened the retirement plan offerings to LPL's independent advisers and launched the Retirement Plan Consulting Group. That enterprise introduced products like the Retirement Plus Program, which provides corporate retirement-plan products, record keeping and plan administration services to independent advisors working with clients' employer-sponsored retirement plans.
