FMG, the industry leader in marketing automation software for financial advisors and advisory firms, announced the appointment of Matt Newman as Chief Revenue Officer. Newman will lead Sales, Customer Success and Revenue Operations, to align the system from a client’s first contact to conversation and through long-term growth.
Scaling the Enterprise Revenue System
FMG operates two go-to-market brands: FMG, serving Wealth Management firms and Agency Revolution, serving Insurance. As AI changes how clients discover advisors and agents, and how firms support advisor-level growth, enterprise firms now need to consolidate vendors, reduce point solution sprawl and implement unified systems that allow for compliant and secure growth with operational discipline.
“FMG has reached an important inflection point as a platform powering organic growth for enterprises and their advisors and agents,” said Dave Christensen, Chief Executive Officer of FMG. “As we look to our next phase, having the right systems and alignment in place is critical to sustaining growth at scale. Matt’s role strengthens execution across the entire revenue system, building on an already strong foundation across the company.”

Deep Enterprise Leadership Experience
Newman’s experience and operating discipline position the firm to further expand its relationships with mid-to-large RIAs, wirehouses, banks, insurance agencies, and regional and enterprise broker-dealers. He brings more than 30 years of global experience growing and transforming services and fintech businesses, with leadership roles spanning sales, customer success, product, and engineering.
Most recently, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at Hearsay, leading revenue teams from 2021 through the company’s acquisition by Yext in 2024. Prior to Hearsay, Newman was Global Head of Sales and a member of the leadership team at Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), helping guide the business from its spin-off from MSCI in 2014 through its sale to Deutsche Börse in 2021. Before that, he was with RiskMetrics. During his 17-year tenure at these firms, Newman led product, customer success and sales teams.
“I’m excited to join FMG at a moment when enterprise firms are under pressure to deliver measurable organic growth with fewer vendors and a more connected operating model,” Newman said. “AI is raising expectations for relevance, personalization, and speed, while security and compliance requirements remain high. My focus will be to align our go-to-market and customer growth system so enterprise firms can equip their advisors and agents to build trust, be discovered, and convert relationships more consistently.”
FMG is backed by GTCR and is leveraging its support to further invest in AI platform capabilities, operating systems and enterprise readiness to drive growth for its customers.
