Savant did not pay a fee for Brodeski to be considered for the recognition.

Brodeski was selected by a panel of independent judges made up of industry leaders who evaluated finalist initiatives based on quantitative (e.g., scope, scale, adoption, and feature set) and qualitative (e.g., innovation, creativity and new methods of delivery) measures.

“I am honored to receive this prestigious award from WealthManagement.com, and to be acknowledged alongside such exceptional industry leadership,” said Brodeski. “I believe being named CEO of the Year helps validate the commitment and effort we have invested in making Savant a leading organization dedicated to serving our clients, employees, and community.”

The nomination touted Brodeski for his vision to improve 1 million lives and make a significant impact in the world. Over the course of 18 months, he spearheaded a period of exponential growth for Savant, with a plan focused on significant investment in talent, technology, strategic acquisitions, marketing, and practice management to help clients pursue their ideal futures. The firm is majority-owned by its employees, a differentiator that illustrates Savant’s commitment to the communities it serves.

Savant’s growth strategy also helps differentiate it from other aggregators or financial buyers. Under Brodeski’s leadership, the firm relies on patient capital to attract growth-oriented partners who can help provide an enhanced client experience, a deep bench of specialists, and a comprehensive range of services.

Now in its tenth year, the WealthManagement.com Industry Awards is the only awards program of its kind recognizing outstanding achievements by companies, organizations, and individuals supporting financial advisor success.
