The Pacific Northwest is the place to be in regard to tech. In Washington, “computer software developer” is the most common job title, according to an NPR report. And Oregon has seen a rise in tech jobs since 2010. The region has been a hot spot for tech companies and startups looking to expand and now another company will soon move to the area.
SageView Advisory Group, an RIA investment platform, announced on Wednesday that will open an office in Seattle to complement its team in Portland and continue its expansion in the Pacific Northwest.
The new office in Seattle will be co-led by Jon Chambers, SageView’s managing director, and Tina Alexander Chambers, the company’s senior retirement consultant.
“We experienced incredible opportunities with our Portland office and wanted to establish a stronger presence in the fast-growing Pacific Northwest. We know SageView will be successful with Jon and Tina leading our Seattle retirement practice in one of the nation’s most vibrant cities,” Randy Long, founder and CEO of SageView, said in a statement.
SageView’s state-of-the-art platform provides full retirement investment solutions. In addition to retirement planning, the California-based company also offers consulting and wealth management services, according to its website.
“My team and I are excited to strengthen our presence in the Pacific Northwest while continuing to serve all of our valued client relationships. While our focus will initially be on retirement plan consulting, I know our office will expand our expertise to provide a broad range of services in the greater Seattle area,” Jon Chambers said in a statement.
SageView’s recent expansion is part of the company’s “aggressive growth strategy” which has included the $900 million acquisition of Capital One Investing, a subsidiary of Capital One. As part of its growth, SageView has also made several key executive hires.
Founded in 1989, SageView has more than 30 offices nationwide.
