A financial services veteran with three decades of relevant experience, Fischer will lead Amplify’s day-to-day operations with a strong focus on client success. In his new role, he will oversee relationship management, onboarding and training client service teams, and implementing strategies to scale operations and support the firm’s continued growth.

I look forward to helping elevate our operations to support that mission and consistently deliver exceptional value for our clients and partners.”
Fischer, who received his undergraduate degree in business from the University of New Hampshire, Plymouth and his MBA from the University of Colorado, is the latest in a series of recent C-suite hires.
