FuturePlan by Ascensus—a leading national retirement third-party administrator (TPA) that specializes in the delivery of customized retirement plan consulting and administration services—announces that Aaron McIsaac will assume divisional vice president (DVP) responsibilities for the organization's Southern California region as a result of DVP Greg Taylor's planned retirement. The change is effective June 30, 2021.

McIsaac will offer consultative support to retirement plan clients while expanding relationships with strategic recordkeeping and financial advisor partners in both the Northwest/Central and Southern California regions. He will continue to report to Kasey Price, FuturePlan's head of sales, while leveraging his two decades of business development and leadership experience to create and implement growth strategies for FuturePlan's fast-growing sales team.

McIsaac has been a FuturePlan DVP since January 2020. Prior to that, he was a regional sales director at Goldleaf Partners, a Minnesota-based TPA that became part of FuturePlan in 2019. While at Goldleaf Partners, he helped develop the organization into a prominent 3(16) fiduciary services provider. He has also held leadership positions at Benefit Administration Corporation and Partridge River, Inc. McIsaac earned his bachelor's degree in management from The College of St. Scholastica.

Taylor joined FuturePlan's sales leadership team as a DVP in August 2019. Before that, he was the founder and president of QBI, a California-based TPA recognized for its broad expertise in human capital management and integrated benefits that became part of FuturePlan in 2018. He has been an active member in industry organizations—including the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) and the National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA)—throughout his career. Taylor received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from UCLA.

"Greg has been well known and respected in the TPA industry for more than 40 years, and regularly inspires clients and associates with his remarkable work ethic, business acumen, and talent for making meaningful connections on a personal level," said Price. "FuturePlan is extraordinarily grateful for his years of service and wishes him all the best in retirement."

"Aaron's ability to lead and mentor during both positive and challenging times will ensure that our clients in the Southern California region remain in good hands," continued Price. "He will provide them with the same exceptional level of support needed to help them meet their objectives."
