Strongpoint Partners Expands Sales Organization to Meet Growing Market Demand

Strongpoint Partners, a technology-enabled retirement services platform targeting small- to mid-sized businesses, announced a series of strategic staffing additions and promotions designed to accelerate organic growth and expand its market footprint. The Chicago-based firm, which provides integrated retirement third-party administration, recordkeeping, payroll, and HR solutions, has created new sales roles and elevated internal talent in response to growing demand from its advisor and employer client base.

The organizational restructuring includes three key moves: the hiring of Heather Sexton as the company's first Business Development Representative—a newly created position designed to expand advisor and employer relationships across the country—and the addition of David Kay as Regional Sales Consultant supporting Actuaries Unlimited, a Strongpoint partner. Most significantly, Michael Davis was promoted to Vice President, Head of Sales Execution, a new leadership role on Strongpoint's National Sales team.

Mike Shamburger, Vice President of National Sales at Strongpoint Partners, characterized these investments as part of the company's strategic approach to managing accelerated organic growth. "Each of our new hires bring something unique to the table: deep technical knowledge, proven sales track records, and the kind of relationship-focused mindset that defines how we go to market," Shamburger stated. The company expressed confidence that these additions will support growth initiatives throughout the remainder of 2026 and beyond, reflecting management's assessment of robust market opportunity in the retirement services sector for small- to mid-sized employer plans.

The announcement underscores Strongpoint's commitment to building sales capacity to serve its expanding footprint across a coast-to-coast network, leveraging both new external hires and internal promotion to strengthen leadership depth within the sales organization.
