Mangini continues to report to Rick Karas, president of NFS Distributors and senior vice president of Nationwide Financial, and his responsibilities remain primarily unchanged. Although the eight additions to its wholesale force completes the current round of changes to its salesforce, a spokesperson said that the insurer expects to add more positions in the future.

  • Jennifer Coleman is based in Lincoln, Nebraska and joins Nationwide from Ameritas Variable Life.
  • Edward Cordova is based in Syracuse, New York and was most recently a marketing director for The Hartford.
  • Rex Hunsaker is based in Tualatin, Oregon and was most recently a wholesaler at The Hartford.
  • Diana Krause is based in Clermont, Florida and joins Nationwide from Transamerica Capital, where she was a regional vice president.
  • Travis Wilson is based in Dallas. He was previously with Nationwide before serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.

    Three executives were moved into the regional marketing director position from other internal roles. They are:

  • Ron Ritchey, based in Northville, Michigan who was previously an internal wholesaler.

    "Nationwide Financial is making a focused effort to help wirehouse producers grow their business," Mangini said. "We have the products and tools to help wirehouse producers meet their clients' retirement planning needs, and we are working hard to get those tools into their hands."
