Jim Salonia, former senior v.p. with Phoenix Investment Counsel, has switched to ING Aeltus Group to head up its marketing, business management, sales support and client service for institutional sales. He will again be a senior v.p. Salonia now reports to Duke Meythaler, head of the distribution platform at ING Aeltus capital management. He used to report to Tom Meyers, senior v.p. and head of institutional sales, at Phoenix Investment Partners in Indianapolis. Phoenix Investment Counsel is a fully owned subsidiary of Phoenix Investment Partners. Salonia says he replaces Arnold West at ING Aeltus, and that West remains with ING as a v.p. in institutional sales.
Salonia will remain in Hartford. He says he started with ING in the first week of December and that he switched firms because his responsibilities at Phoenix were limited to a subsidiary level, while at ING, he has an expanded brief to work at a company-wide level.
