Composition Wealth has expanded its executive leadership team with the appointments of Gabrielle Glemann as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer and Joe Salcido as Head of Advisors.
The appointments strengthen the Los Angeles-based registered investment advisory firm’s legal, compliance, and advisor development capabilities as it expands its national platform.
Composition Wealth reports more than $12 billion in assets and approximately 125 employees nationwide. Both incoming executives bring more than 20 years of financial services experience.
Glemann will oversee the firm’s legal and compliance functions, working with its executive leadership team on corporate governance, risk management, and strategic growth.
Her responsibilities will include supporting the regulatory and operational infrastructure required as Composition Wealth expands its national advisory business.
She joins from Cercano Management, an SEC-registered investment adviser, where she served as General Counsel and Partner.
Previously, Glemann was Director of Legal and Compliance at BlackRock, supporting its global alternative investments platform.
Her experience at BlackRock encompassed hedge funds, private equity, direct investments, and co-investment strategies.
Earlier in her career, she practiced law at Stoel Rives in Seattle and Hughes Hubbard & Reed.
Her background includes advising SEC-registered investment advisers, private fund managers, and international investment platforms.
At Composition Wealth, Glemann will apply this experience to the firm’s governance and compliance activities while supporting additional business development.
Her appointment adds senior legal expertise as Composition Wealth continues expanding its relationships with high-net-worth clients and financial advisors.
Salcido, meanwhile, will serve as Head of Advisors, taking responsibility for working directly with the firm’s financial advisors to support organic growth.
His role includes advisor coaching, practice management support, and helping advisory teams develop their businesses within Composition Wealth’s national platform.
Salcido brings more than two decades of experience in sales, operations, and financial services leadership.
He joins after spending nearly 10 years at Edelman Financial Engines, where he most recently served as Regional Director of Wealth Planning.
In that role, Salcido led the company’s Southeastern advisory division, gaining experience supporting financial advisors across multiple markets.
Earlier in his Edelman career, he served as Director of Sales and helped lead the organization through two major mergers and integration initiatives.
His responsibilities included expanding the sales organization to support the firm’s growth following those transactions.
Before joining Edelman Financial Engines, Salcido spent more than a decade at Vanguard, holding positions of increasing responsibility across sales, trading, and operations.
His experience provides a background in advisor development and the management of financial services organizations operating at national scale.
Composition Wealth intends to use the two appointments to strengthen the infrastructure supporting its advisors while maintaining its emphasis on personalized financial advice.
The firm’s service model combines investment management with specialized expertise in tax planning, estate strategies, and retirement planning.
These capabilities are designed to support advisors serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners with complex financial requirements.
Founded in 2007 as Miracle Mile Advisors, Composition Wealth maintains its headquarters in Los Angeles.
Its national footprint includes team locations in Baltimore and Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; New York; San Diego; San Francisco; and Seattle.
The additions of Glemann and Salcido reflect the firm’s continued investment in executive leadership as it develops its national advisory organization.
