SAN DIEGO, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC, a leader in the wealth management industry, announces the appointment of Tom Gannon as executive vice president and chief advocacy officer. Gannon, who brings more than 25 years of extensive experience in government relations across various financial services companies to LPL, will report to Althea Brown, chief legal officer, and will oversee an established team of policy analysts and lobbyists.
In his new role, Gannon will spearhead LPL’s government relations efforts at federal, state and local levels and lead the firm’s political action committee (PAC) and the LPL 50 State Advocacy Network. He will work closely with policymakers and regulators as well as industry and trade groups, representing LPL advisors and the LPL business to foster alignment with the company’s enduring purpose – empowering advisors to deliver high quality and personalized advice to all who need it.
“As one of the fastest growing companies in wealth management serving independent financial advisors, LPL is committed to serving as a voice and advocate for our clients and employees,” said Brown. “Tom brings broad, relevant experience and proven leadership that will help us advance the service we provide for our advisors, institutions and the investors they serve.”
LPL's Government Relations program leverages a cross-country network of advisors to collectively advocate on the issues that matter most in the industry.

LPL's Government Relations function focuses on advocating for thoughtful policies that ensure all Americans have access to personalized financial advice, and that our advisors can choose the model that works best for them, including models that allow individuals to be small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Prior to joining LPL, Gannon served as the chief government relations officer at H&R Block, where he spent four years leading their government relations initiatives. Prior to that he led the government relations team at Mastercard for 11 years. He began his career as a legislative aide, which paved the way for subsequent roles leading state and federal lobbyists, representing a trade association focused on credit unions, and managing grassroots campaigning and PAC fundraising efforts.
