Less than two years after leaving Fidelity to lead the broker-dealer, Mr. Oros is leaving to help tend to a relative

Less than two years after departing Fidelity Investments, where he was head of the RIA segment, Bob Oros has announced his resignation from broker-dealer HD Vest Financial Services.

According to a statement from Blucora, HD Vest’s parent company, Mr. Oros, 53, will step down Nov. 15 to help a relative with health issues.

The company announced that Todd Mckay, currently executive vice president and general manager of Blucora’s tax software arm, TaxAct, is being named interim CEO of HD Vest.

Mr. Oros has agreed to remain with the company in a consulting role until March 2019 as a search for a permanent CEO is conducted.

Mr. Oros’ departure was reported earlier Wednesday by Financial Planning.
