This strategic move reflects Envestnet’s dedication to fostering deeper client relationships and delivering innovative technology, data insights, and managed account solutions tailored to the needs of RIAs.
“Sean is uniquely positioned to understand the technology needs of today’s RIAs, and the various ways in which they operate,” said Andrew Stavaridis, Chief Relationship Officer at Envestnet. “As an industry veteran with experience on the advisory side of the table, Sean brings critical insight into what RIAs need to succeed. Envestnet remains committed to serving the needs of all RIAs, and we’ll continue to invest in the areas that provide them optionality, scalable growth, and productivity. Hiring Sean and continuing to build out his team is a clear signal for how we’re doubling down on delivering for RIAs.”
A Role Focused on Growth and Innovation
Sean Meighan will report directly to Stavaridis and lead a team dedicated to enhancing Envestnet’s relationships with RIAs. His responsibilities will include identifying how RIAs can better leverage the company’s suite of technology and solutions—including Tamarac, Report Studio, managed accounts, and trading tools—to scale their practices and meet evolving client demands.
“RIAs construct their businesses in a variety of ways and need a platform that can support their unique models—while also meeting the increasingly sophisticated expectations of their clients,” stated Meighan. “Having led a corporate RIA and supported thousands of independent advisors, I’ve seen firsthand how the right technology and service model can accelerate advisor growth. That’s why I can confidently attest to the strength of Envestnet’s platform—it gives RIAs the flexibility, scale, and control they need to run their practices their way.”
A Veteran Leader with Proven Expertise

Previously, he held leadership roles at Lincoln Financial Network, where he successfully drove platform asset growth.
A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Meighan holds both an MBA and a Bachelor of Science degree, and maintains Series 7 and 66 securities licenses.
