Ameriprise Financial has appointed Bill Williams to oversee employee advisers, as well as the institutional business and recruiting, according to Barron's.

This appointment comes after the announcement of Pat O’Connell’s retirement, planned for June 1. O’Connell currently oversees the employee adviser channel.
