Phil Salice Promoted to Wealth Advisor at Signature Wealth

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Phil Salice, a seasoned financial professional with a diverse background in M&A, private credit, and private equity, has been promoted to Wealth Advisor at Signature Wealth in Charlotte, marking a significant milestone for the firm.

Salice's journey to Signature Wealth began nearly a decade ago when he landed a one-day-a-week internship with John Chidwick, the Owner of Signature Wealth Charlotte and a Senior Wealth Advisor. Chidwick's guidance and support over the years played a crucial role in shaping Salice's career. After graduating summa cum laude from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Salice embarked on a career advising on healthcare and life sciences mergers and acquisitions at Harris Williams, working in private equity at Carousel Capital, and financing sponsor-backed companies at Barings' Global Private Finance team. Throughout his career, he maintained a close relationship with Chidwick, keeping the door open for potential collaboration.

"I'm excited to use my background to help clients navigate the most important financial decisions in their lives," said Salice. "I've always aspired to be a trusted advisor and a long-term thought partner, and Signature Wealth provides the perfect platform to do that."

Salice officially joined Signature Wealth's Charlotte office in December 2025, initially focusing on completing his securities licensing exams and shadowing Chidwick's client meetings. He is now actively working with clients and handling greater responsibilities in the firm's wealth advisory relationships.

"Phil's experience is particularly valuable as clients navigate significant financial transitions, from business growth and sales to succession planning and complex wealth management," said Chidwick. "His multidisciplinary background allows him to provide comprehensive advice that spans both business and personal financial needs."

Salice's role extends beyond business owners, as he also focuses on helping individuals and families make thoughtful decisions about their wealth, ensuring both short-term and long-term financial security. "Ultimately, I want to build lasting relationships with clients and serve them from a faith-driven perspective," said Salice. "That is where I see myself long-term."

For both Phil and his wife, Amanda, the move to Signature Wealth represents more than a career advancement. It's an opportunity to contribute to the financial well-being of individuals and families in Charlotte. "Phil is a great guy," said Chidwick. "He has been persistent and consistent in staying in touch while building his career at other firms. The timing was right for both of us, and we are thrilled to have him on our team."

Salice's promotion underscores Signature Wealth's commitment to hiring and developing top talent. With offices in Charlotte, the firm continues to expand its capabilities and client base, providing comprehensive financial advice and support to a diverse range of clients.
