In his new role, Plucinak will be responsible for building and managing Legion’s independent broker-dealer and RIA distribution channels, as well as national sales management and corporate finance initiatives.
With 16 years of experience in the securities, alternative investment, and insurance industry, Plucinak spent 11 years at GWG Holdings, most recently as senior vice president of business development.
At GWG, he helped structure, launch, and distribute eight proprietary investment offerings for the independent broker-dealer, RIA, and institutional investor channels.

Heslin will be responsible for sales in the company’s Midwest and South-Central territories, while Gabor will be responsible for sales in the company’s Northeast and Southeast territories. Both spent four years at GWG and hold FINRA Series 7 and 63 licenses.

Managed by Sequence Financial Specialists, the Regulation A+ offering is comprised of $20 million each of Series A corporate bonds and Series A redeemable preferred membership units.
