The latest moves in the North American wealth management market.

Wescott
Wescott Financial Advisory Group, which is based in Philadelphia with over $2 billion in assets under management, has hired Carrie Delgott as its new chief operating officer and chief compliance officer.

Delgott’s hiring follows Wescott’s recent string of high-level additions, including Mark McCarron, chief investment officer. Delgott began her career as a financial analyst for Wawa before joining Vanguard, where she held leadership positions in an array of areas over her nearly 20-year tenure, including roles within the finance, operations, program management and customer service functions. She led a number of transformation initiatives at the firm, including the evolution of Vanguard’s ultra-high net worth business model for clients with $10 million or more in retail assets. 

Most recently, Delgott led the transformation of Vanguard’s procurement services and accounts payable functions to a new, global enterprise supply management organization as the director of program management.

LPL Financial
US investment advisor house and broker-dealer LPL Financial has added advisor Graham Nelson, serving about $130 million of client money, to its B/D and corporate RIA platforms.

Nelson joins from Cadaret Grant & Co, LPL said in a statement earlier this week.

Nelson co-founded the Clinton, New York-based Mohawk Valley Capital Management in 2004. Before joining LPL, Nelson served as advisor as well as the firm’s OSJ Manager, supporting five additional independent advisors.
