As Founding Partner, Corporate Development at Elevation Point, Duke Schillaci has played a pivotal role in leading and executing the firm’s successful ongoing acquisition strategy, and helping to transform the meaning of true independence in the wealth management industry. Elevation Point is an accelerator and minority stake partner and seeks to help advisors grow at scale without giving up control of their culture or client relationships. The growth acceleration acquisition model spearheaded by Duke involves Elevation Point purchasing minority stakes in breakaway advisory teams or established RIAs, allowing them to maintain their brand identity and ownership while obtaining the tools, resources, and support required to build a true enterprise.
