John Ippolito

Head of Sales and Client Experience

BMO U.S. Wealth Management

John Ippolito is a seasoned executive in private wealth management, bringing more than 30 years of experience driving growth, developing top-performing teams, and advising high-net-worth individuals and institutions. As Head of Sales, U.S. Markets at BMO Wealth Management, John leads national business development and client engagement strategies to expand the bank’s presence and impact across the United States.

 

Before joining BMO, John served as President of the New York Tri-State Region at BNY Mellon Wealth Management, overseeing $41 billion in client assets across four offices in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Under his leadership, the region became the firm’s top performer in both revenue and profitability—generating 25% of total WM revenue and one-third of its profit.

 

Previously, John held several senior leadership roles at Northern Trust, including Senior Managing Director for the New York region and Market President for San Diego. His tenure was defined by consistent revenue growth, expanded market share, and a strong emphasis on integrating investment, planning, and fiduciary services. He also played a national role in leading and scaling sales programs at both BNY and Northern Trust.

 

John began his career in portfolio management and trust services, advising ultra-high-net-worth families and nonprofits on complex investment and estate planning strategies. He is recognized as an expert in wealth management, a certified coach, and a sought-after speaker on leadership, growth strategy, and talent development.

 

He holds a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Finance from New York University, as well as certifications from NYU, San Diego State University, and executive programs at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

 

John is actively engaged in board and community service in New York City. He has been married to his wife, Natasha, for over 30 years, and they have two adult sons, Jake and Max. Outside of work, he enjoys travel, cycling, the arts, and great conversations with family and friends.
