Fidelity has a new head of retail sales in Canada. The Boston Behemoth's Canadian subsidiary said that Robert L. Strickland will head its distribution effort through financial advisors and third-party alliances.

Strickland takes the title of executive vice president at Fidelity Investments Canada Limited and reports to David Denison, president of the unit. He will also be a member of the organization's eight-member senior executive team.

"Rob has extensive knowledge of the full range of distribution channels and we are delighted that he is bringing that to Fidelity Canada," Denison said in a statement.
