Wealth firm Fiducient Advisors has announced a pivotal change in leadership.
Effective May 3, Mike Goss is taking over as president of the firm to succeed Mark Wetzel, who is retiring after serving as the company's managing partner and president since 2006.
Sabrina Bailey, CEO of Fiducient Advisors, which is affiliated with NFP, highlighted Goss's foundational role in the company.
"Mike's appointment reflects the significant and positive impact he's had on our people, clients, firm, and local community," Bailey said in a statement. "He's a natural choice to follow in Mark’s footsteps."
Goss, who also co-founded Fiduciary Investment Advisors, which later merged into Fiducient Advisors, has been instrumental in steering the company's strategic marketing and business development.
His expertise spans over two decades, advising on portfolio construction, asset allocation, and investment manager oversight among other areas.
Expressing his enthusiasm for his new role, Goss said, "I’m excited to take on the role of president at Fiducient Advisors."
"The future holds great opportunities, and I’m honored to assume the president role as we focus on our continuing growth and pursuit of financial success for clients,” he said.
This transition has been described as a planned progression for Goss, who will also maintain his role as chief revenue officer.
"Mike will continue to remain focused on driving growth for the organization by leading Fiducient’s business development and marketing efforts as well as continuing to serve current and future clients of the firm," Bailey said.
Wetzel, who has been with the financial services industry since 1990, expressed his confidence in Goss’s leadership capabilities.
"Mike is the perfect person to fill the president position," Wetzel noted. "Fiducient is in a great place with momentum, and we all feel very good about the future for all of our associates, partners, and clients."
Fiducient's chairman, Bob DiMeo, also praised Goss's suitability for his new role, noting his longstanding relationship with him. "I have known Mike for more than 20 years and he is perfectly suited to support Sabrina and help leadership guide the firm to even greater success," DiMeo said.
