"FiComm is known in the independent wealth management industry as a leader and innovator, and I am incredibly aligned with the team's New Skool mindset of authenticity, targeted focus, and measurable results. I look forward to continuing to push the boundaries alongside a phenomenal team."
In addition to Johnson joining the senior leadership team, Tim Welsh is expanding his role with FiComm as a Senior Consultant. Welsh will focus on expanding FiComm's reach in the industry while continuing to build viable business partnerships. Furthermore, Welsh will provide strategic public relations insights and recommendations and leverage his network and experience on behalf of FiComm's clients.

"With our latest leadership additions, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to staying ahead of the industry's PR and marketing needs," said Carpenter. "We are very excited to have Katie join the FiComm team–bringing her years of industry experience, as well as her extensive know how of building scalable businesses, to our exceptional team. Additionally, we are eager to expand Tim's role with FiComm, and look forward to leveraging both of their insights and knowledge for our clients while continuing to build a culture and agency that delivers best-in-class results."
