Executive Leadership — Firms
Atria Wealth Solutions

Excerpt from ThinkAdvisor.com:

Since 2017, the Atria Wealth Solutions leadership team has launched two business channels, grown to over $100 billion in assets under administration, acquired six broker-dealers, hit a milestone of having some 450 employees in its home-office locations, developed ties to 183 financial institutions, and supported its technology platform for nearly 2,500 financial professionals. It also says that about 100,000 accounts were opened using its Unio New Account Opening platform.

The firm adds that it has one of the industry’s highest first-call resolution rates and a large number of on-platform account openings. Using its Unio new account opening system, advisors can save time and improve efficiencies: brokerage accounts, for instance, can be opened in as little as five minutes and advisory accounts in as few as 10, it says. Plus, the team has rolled out several credit union and bank affiliation approaches, which means banks can keep their own brands while taking advantage of Atria’s mobile-friendly technology platform, for example.

Executive Leadership — Individuals
Brian Bichler, Head of Platform Experience

Excerpt from ThinkAdvisor.com:

As head of Platform Experience for Atria Wealth Solutions, Brian Bichler led the introduction of “a customized tech platform designed to support all aspects of a financial professionals’ business,’’ according to the firm. “The launch of Unio began with Bichler’s vision of an all-inclusive, integrated and interactive program management tool.”

His work and vision for the platform have made it “a mature and vital part of everyday life for [the close to 2,500] financial professionals in the Atria network, and its easy-to-use features have garnered rave reviews and registered strong engagement,” the firm explained. “The high level of satisfaction reported among financial professionals in the Atria network supports the objective of the firm — namely, to design technology to enhance, not replace, the critically important financial professional-client relationship.”
