Ola Wall has been named a general partner with Edward Jones’ holding company, the Jones Financial Cos. LLLP. She is one of only 25 individuals chosen from more than 36,000 associates to join the firm’s 310 general partners.

Wall joined Edward Jones’ Mississauga, Ont., home office in 1996 as an administrative assistant. Today, she leads several of the firm’s service departments and is responsible for all training and communication associated with Edward Jones’ Canadian self-clearing conversion project.

“I am deeply honored to be named to this position,” Wall says, “and I am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”

“Ola has repeatedly proven herself to be one of our most talented and dedicated associates,” says James D. Weddle, managing principal of Edward Jones. “She will make a valuable addition to the firm’s management team and I am very pleased to welcome her into the partnership.”

Wall graduated from the University of Toronto with a bachelor of arts degree and in 2003 earned a master’s degree in business administration from Wilfrid Laurier University. She is currently a member of the Ontario district council, an Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada committee that addresses regional registration, membership and discipline matters.
