NEW YORK, NY — September 21, 2026 — Wealthspire, an independent wealth management, institutional advisory, and business management firm, announced that Chris Bucci will depart Wealthspire's Ground Control Business Management (Ground Control) effective September 30, following 14 years with Ground Control, first as one of the sellers of Savitsky Satin Bacon & Bucci and then as Chief Executive Officer. During this transition, an Executive Transition Team made up of senior leaders at Ground Control will lead the business with full support from Wealthspire while a CEO search is conducted.
Under Bucci's leadership, Ground Control built a specialized business management platform serving entertainment, music, sports, real estate, and high-net-worth clients, completing acquisitions in Los Angeles, Nashville, and the United Kingdom.
According to Mike LaMena, chief executive officer of Wealthspire, "Chris built Ground Control into one of the strongest platforms in business management, and he did it by insisting on a level of client service that is now simply how this firm operates. We are grateful for that and for his leadership."
Clients will continue working with the same teams they know and trust, and Ground Control's day-to-day operations, service model, and growth strategy are unchanged.
