WARWICK, RI – Jacob J. Belt, a former franchisee of Sandler Training in Rhode Island, has joined Freedom Equity Group, a national financial services company, as senior vice president.
Freedom Equity Group is a “hand-to-glove fit for me,” Belt said. “It’s in an accepted, regulated industry which requires a license and partners with companies with billions in assets, most of them more than 100 years old. It has a leadership team at the corporate and local level that I can respect and follow.”
Belt ran his Sandler franchise for the past 13 years and previously was a partner in Gregory, Cooney and Belt, Inc., an advertising agency in Providence. He has almost 30 years of experience in several areas of business, including advertising, marketing, public relations and sales.
He has worked with businesses ranging from sole proprietors to Fortune 100 companies and been active in numerous business organizations. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from St. Michael’s College, in Winooski, Vt.
Freedom Equity Group, based in California, offers a number of financial products, including life insurance one can collect before dying, under certain conditions. It was founded in 2002 by three men who had previously worked together in marketing life insurance and annuities and who still manage the company.
Freedom Equity Group experienced more than a 400 percent growth in 2013.
