At MarshBerry’s inaugural Ascend Summit, Mike LaMena, Chief Executive Officer of Wealthspire, joined Kim Kovalski, MarshBerry Managing Director, to discuss a key theme shaping the RIA industry: the value of mergers & acquisitions extends far beyond the transaction itself.

In their conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Why M&A should be viewed as a strategic enabler – not the ultimate objective
  • How scale creates opportunities to attract, develop, and retain top talent
  • How advisors can return to their highest and best use: serving clients
  • The importance of culture, alignment, and long-term fit in any transaction
