Summary
Beacon Pointe appointed Katie Cullen as chief growth and integration officer and Sarah Green as chief risk and compliance officer, adding two senior executives as the $63 billion RIA expands.
Cullen, formerly head of BlackRock Business Consulting, takes a newly created role overseeing practice management, M&A and strategic integration to help absorb newly acquired advisors and firms while accelerating organic growth.
Green joins from Vanguard, where she led financial-crimes and conduct programs; her background also includes running FINRA’s AML examination unit and SEC broker-dealer exams.
CEO Matthew Cooper said the hires are meant to strengthen key strategic areas as Beacon Pointe keeps scaling, while the firm said its existing M&A leadership under Jack Cooper and Jacob Vick remains unchanged.
