Not every firm takes to press releases to announce a boost in staff. Some make no formal announcement, such that the news of an internal promotion or external hire often comes from LinkedIn, with professionals themselves updating their job titles. That looks to be what happened in the case of Brian Carroll.

The former head of U.S distribution at Old Mutual Asset Management [profile] has stepped up as head of North American distribution for the Boston-based firm. According to Carroll's LinkedIn, he transitioned to his new duties last January, but congrats are pouring in today, strongly suggesting that the not so new-news is only freshly made public. For the last nine months, Carroll has overseen business plan creation and distribution efforts across US and Canadian markets. As in his prior role, the industry vet is specializing in the following channels: consultant relations, DCI-O, plan sponsors, and subadvisory on behalf of institutional investment boutiques.

Carroll was first scooped up by Old Mutual in 2009.
