FuturePlan by Ascensus, a leading retirement solutions partner dedicated to helping advisors, recordkeepers, and plan sponsors deliver better outcomes for savers, has announced the appointment of Ryan Moore as vice president, sales consultant. Moore will support advisors and plan sponsors across Los Angeles, the surrounding areas, and Hawaii, further strengthening FuturePlan’s presence in key western markets.
With more than 21 years of experience in the retirement services industry, Moore brings a proven track record of cultivating strong advisor relationships and helping clients identify opportunities to enhance their retirement plan offerings. He is widely regarded as a trusted partner to advisors, known for delivering practical, efficient solutions that align with their clients’ goals.
Moore joins FuturePlan from Newport, an Ascensus company, where he held a variety of roles focused on advisor engagement and business development. In his new role, he will report to Jeffrey Cricenti, Divisional Vice President, North/West.
“Ryan’s long-standing relationships in the advisor community and his ability to translate complex needs into actionable retirement plan strategies make him a valuable addition to our team. He understands what advisors need to succeed in competitive markets—responsive support, practical solutions, and the freedom to tailor plans to each client. Our model is designed to enable exactly that, combining deep expertise with an independent approach that prioritises thoughtful design and strong outcomes. Ryan will play an important role in extending that value to advisors across the West,” said Kasey Price, president of FuturePlan.
FuturePlan operates with a distinct, advisor-centric approach that prioritises objectivity and flexibility in plan design. While backed by the scale, resources, and operational strength of Ascensus, FuturePlan maintains clear business and strategic separation, enabling it to deliver solutions driven solely by the needs of advisors and their clients.
Moore’s appointment underscores FuturePlan’s continued investment in top talent and its commitment to delivering high-quality, independent retirement plan consulting across all markets. Along with Moore’s appointment as V-P, Sales Consultant, FuturePlan has also hired David Gunning for the similar role, with a sharp focus on the New England region.
Just like Moore, Gunning too brings nearly a decade of experience working closely with financial advisors, recordkeeping partners, and plan sponsors, abilities which the venture expects to help it identify opportunities, navigate plan design decisions, and deliver retirement solutions aligned with client needs. Based in the Boston area, Gunning is known for his consultative approach and ability to build strong, collaborative relationships across the advisor and partner ecosystem.
Gunning is also an active member of the retirement industry community, serving as a board member of the Western Pension & Benefits Council – Seattle Chapter, a member of the Women in Pensions Network (WIPN), and a CFP professional. In his new role, he will report to Mark Wiggins, Divisional Vice President, South/East.
