BHG Financial Promotes Three Executives to Enhance Risk and Regulatory Standards

On May 14, 2024, BHG Financial, a prominent national financial solutions provider, announced the promotion of three key executives to strengthen its risk management and regulatory compliance. This move underscores BHG's commitment to upholding the highest standards within the financial industry's complex regulatory landscape.

Gale Simons-Poole, with a significant background in banking operations and previously a Chief Regulatory Relations Officer at BHG since 2016, is now appointed as Chief Risk Officer. Her extensive experience at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is expected to greatly benefit her new role in managing and mitigating business risks for BHG Financial.

John Henrie, another veteran from FDIC with 35 years of experience, steps into the role of Chief Regulatory Relations Officer. His primary responsibilities will include overseeing regulatory and compliance matters and maintaining effective relationships with regulatory bodies both at the state and federal levels.

April Brissette, who has been with BHG Financial for over 17 years and served in various executive capacities, is promoted to Executive Vice President, Administrative and Operational Risk. Brissette will focus on supervising strategic projects and facilitating collaboration among stakeholders to ensure compliance and streamline legal processes.
