Johnson Financial Group announced today the appointment of Dominic Ceci, CFA as Chief Investment Officer, succeeding Brian Andrew, who left the firm to pursue other interests. Family-owned Johnson Wealth, Inc., a subsidiary of Racine-based Johnson Financial Group, is the largest SEC registered wealth management firm based in Wisconsin, with approximately $10 billion in assets under management.

Mr. Ceci previously served as Senior Vice President and Director of Portfolio Management and Trading for the company, while also serving on the firm’s investment committee and guiding portfolio allocations for Johnson Financial Group clients.

He knows the business, he knows our company, and he knows our customers. But most importantly, Dominic knows and lives our culture and values. We’re excited for him and happy that he’s on our team.”

Over the last 10 years, Johnson Financial Group has completed three acquisitions in the wealth and investment advisory space, while also growing organically. “We are committed to growing and leading in Wisconsin, which includes recruiting and retaining the best investment and wealth planning talent to serve our clients,” said Popp.

“I’m honored to serve as CIO of this organization, and even more, I’m honored to work with such a talented and hard-working team,” said Ceci. “There’s no better group in Wisconsin to provide high-quality investment services to a wide range of clients, with the benefit of seamless integration with Johnson Financial Group’s trust and banking businesses.” Prior to joining Johnson Financial Group in 2022, Ceci held investment leadership roles at U.S. Bank. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst who earned his MBA from the University of Illinois. Ceci is based at Johnson Financial Group’s downtown Milwaukee office at 555 E. Wells St.
