Hightower President Roberto Stewart Resigns After Less Than 3 Months

Summary
Roberto Stewart is leaving Hightower as president and chief business officer less than three months after joining in April, with the firm saying he stepped down for personal reasons.
Hightower said Stewart will work with the leadership team on a smooth transition and that a replacement will be named in the near future.
Stewart had been hired to lead enterprise services and oversee Hightower One, the firm's new back- and middle-office platform meant to support its next phase of growth.
That platform was slated to begin onboarding Signature Wealth advisors' clients this summer, tying Stewart's abrupt exit to a key rollout in Hightower's broader W-2 employee-channel strategy.
