People Moves: Higginbotham Announces Executive Promotions in Financial Services, Employee Benefits
Higginbotham announced a series of executive promotions within the Financial Services division. These moves are intended to match current growth at Higginbotham and prepare for future milestones by drawing on deep bench strength to scale-up operations and enhance client services.
Long-time executive team member Michael Parks has been elevated to the role of President, Financial Services, while Koby Hackradt takes over Parks’ previous leadership duties as Chief Operations Officer (COO), Employee Benefits, and Carter English joins Hackradt in overseeing Employee Benefits in a new Chief Business Officer role.
As President, Financial Services, Parks will focus on executive strategy in a role that oversees many departments — including Employee Benefits, which he shepherded through impressive levels of growth for almost 35 years.
Promoted from Managing Partner to COO, Employee Benefits, Hackradt has served Higginbotham for over 14 years and looks forward to increasing the scope of that service by optimizing operations and enhancing employee benefits service delivery across a growing footprint of Higginbotham partner offices.
English was promoted from Managing Partner to Chief Business Officer, Employee Benefits after eight years with Higginbotham.
