Michael Bryan Named Chief Growth Officer of Strategic Blueprint

SFA Partners, based in Atlanta, hired Michael Bryan as chief growth officer of Strategic Blueprint, a registered investment advisor with assets under management of roughly $2.5 billion.

Bryan, who will help lead the firm with President Julie Sullivan will be responsible for recruiting advisors to the platform. These advisors can be either IAR-only, or hybrid advisors.

Launched in 2017, Strategic Blueprint, part of the SFA Partners family of companies, aims to serve fee-based advisors who want the benefits of owning an RIA but want to offload some of the more onerous compliance, operational and tech responsibilities to a third party.

“His [Bryan] experience in the advisory space will be essential as we sharpen our focus on growth and set our sights for our next important milestone of hitting $5 billion in assets under administration,” said Jamie Mackay, president and COO at SFA Partners.

Bryan comes to SFA Partners from Triad Advisors, where he spent most of his 25-year career. Notably, in 2014, he founded Triad Hybrid Solutions and served as the firm’s president for a decade.

This announcement comes after Mackay was recently named president. Mackay joined SFA Partners in 2017 as VP of business development and then was elevated to EVP and COO in 2022. He will continue to serve as COO.
