Katie Johnson
President & Partner, Head of People & Operations
Hi, I’m Katie – President & Partner, Head of People & Operations at Ficomm Partners. With over 20 years in the RIA industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at the forefront of innovation, including my 15 years at United Capital, a firm that reshaped the industry and was later acquired by Goldman Sachs. As VP of Corporate Communications for Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management – and previously as VP, Organizational Effectiveness and Chief of Staff to industry disruptor Joe Duran – I’ve witnessed firsthand what it takes to build, scale, and lead organizations that drive tremendous growth and real, lasting impact.
At Ficomm, I take immense pride in our core value of Integrity Without Compromise – not just as a principle, but as a personal commitment. To me, integrity means following through on what I say I’ll do, leading with transparency, and always putting people first. I believe that meaningful growth – whether in business or life – starts with trust, and that’s exactly how we show up for the Advisory Teams we serve.
Outside of work, I’m navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood in Laguna Niguel, CA, alongside my husband Ryan, our soccer-loving son Asher, and our cheer-obsessed daughter Savvy. Life is a mix of carpooling, pilates, and finding moments to be outdoors – whether it’s on the beach or traveling the world with my tribe. No matter where I am, I’m all in – at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
