Allied Solutions welcomes Bill Gould as executive vice president. Gould most recently served as president and chief operating officer for Trustmark following a long tenure at Securian Financial, Allied Solutions’ parent company.
“Bill knows Allied,” Allied Solutions CEO Pete Hilger said. “Bill was instrumental in supporting the integration of Allied Solutions into the Securian Financial family of companies when Allied was acquired in 2004. Not only does he have deep roots with Allied, but he has also partnered with our team on growth strategies in key markets and Canada.”
Gould has nearly 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. He has extensive knowledge and expertise in product development, due diligence, mergers and acquisitions, integrations, finance and revenue growth. Gould earned an MBA and bachelor's degree from University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.
Gould previously served on the board of directors for Valmark Financial Group and Securian Canada. He also recently served as a board member with United Way of Lake County in Chicago, Illinois.
“I’m excited to join the Allied team,” Gould said. “With my history and long-term association with Allied, Pete, and the leadership team, it’s akin to a homecoming. I’m looking forward to building on Allied’s strengths and growing our partnerships.”
Gould will lead the mergers and acquisitions and reinsurance strategies for Allied. He will also be responsible for supporting strategy development and initiatives and serve on the board of several of Allied’s affiliate companies.
