D.A. Davidson & Co. announced today that Fred Krepps, Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor and Branch Manager of the firm’s Helena and Butte, Montana, offices, has been honored with the Gerry Meyer Branch Manager of the Year Award.
The accolade recognizes branch managers for outstanding work and leadership in areas that include client service, staff retention and recruiting, support and ethics.
Krepps was selected for the award in recognition of exceptional leadership, strong performance, and commitment to wealth planning and advocacy for advisors across the firm. In addition to leading a high-performing branch, he serves as chair of D.A. Davidson’s Branch Manager Advisory Council, where he helps bring field perspectives and practical solutions to senior leadership.
“Fred’s selection reflects not only an exceptional year, but a consistent standard of leadership,” said Chris Barone, Regional Director of the East Region for D.A. Davidson. “He leads by example, challenges us to improve and is always looking for ways to put the firm’s resources to work for clients and colleagues. What distinguishes Fred most is that he doesn’t keep the playbook to himself. Whether he’s supporting advisors in his own branch or advocating for teams across the firm, he demonstrates the thoughtful, disciplined leadership this award is meant to recognize. We are proud to honor him as our Branch Manager of the Year.”
Krepps joined D.A. Davidson in 2013 and holds a bachelor’s degree from Montana State University. He is a Certified Wealth Strategist®.
