Steward Partners Promotes 3 Senior Leaders

Jeff Gonyo will head wealth management, while Kirstie Eustace becomes chief administrator and Maria Condon chief of staff.

Steward Partners, the RIA firm, has made a series of executive promotions, with Jeff Gonyo becoming head of wealth management and Kirstie Eustace becoming chief administrative officer.

The firm has also promoted Maria Condon to chief of staff.

Gonyo will be responsible for Steward Partners’ recruiting and organic growth initiatives — with all divisional presidents from the firm’s traditional business reporting directly to him.

Eustace will oversee all the firm’s administrative functions, including human resources, project management and corporate communication. Condon will oversee the senior leadership’s organizational presence at corporate events, board meetings and public appearances.

Hy Saporta, president and chief operating officer of Steward Partners, said in a statement that the trio has been pivotal to Steward Partners’ growth while “consistently demonstrating outstanding leadership and dedication to our mission.”

“As we evolve to meet the dynamic needs of our clients and the industry, their expanded roles will strengthen our ability to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service,” Saporta said.

The firm’s legacy channel, which was launched last year to provide retiring advisors with succession planning support, will continue to be led by Scott Danner.

Steward Partners was responsible for over $37 billion in client assets as of August.
