As Chief Growth Officer, Mr. Holsopple oversees Hightower’s M&A, Integration Management, Marketing and the Advisor Engagement teams. When seeking to attract new advisory businesses, Holsopple’s team showcases how Hightower’s extensive operational, business acceleration and value-added services drive growth. Since joining the firm in 2020, Mr. Holsopple has overseen and facilitated 15 M&A deals and played a key role in expanding Hightower’s operational and business consulting resources for advisors.

“I am thrilled to see Hightower recognized by WealthManagement.com for our dedication to creating next-generation advisory leaders, as well as for Scott’s tireless work with the M&A team,” said Hightower CEO Bob Oros. “Scott has made a major contribution to identifying and attracting growth-minded advisory businesses, and then nurturing them once they are here. Congratulations, Scott on this well-deserved award.”
