CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Signature Wealth is pleased to announce that Phil Salice is serving clients as a Wealth Advisor in the firm’s Charlotte office.

Salice’s path to Signature Wealth began nearly a decade ago, when, at 20 years old, he landed a one-day-a-week internship with John Chidwick, Owner of Signature Wealth Charlotte and Senior Wealth Advisor. He went on to graduate summa cum laude from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC Chapel Hill before building a career advising on healthcare and life sciences M&A at Harris Williams, working in private equity at Carousel Capital, and financing sponsor-backed companies on Barings’ Global Private Finance team. Throughout that time, he remained in touch with Chidwick about the possibility of eventually working together.

“My goal is simple: to become a trusted advisor and long-term thought partner to the individuals, families, and businesses we serve,” said Salice. “I’m especially excited to use my background to help clients think through the decisions that often come at the most important points in their financial lives. I’m incredibly grateful to John for the opportunity to join his team in Charlotte.”

Salice joined Signature Wealth’s Charlotte office in December 2025 and spent his first months completing his securities licensing exams while shadowing Chidwick’s client meetings. He is now working directly with clients and taking on greater responsibility across the firm’s wealth advisory relationships.

His experience is particularly relevant when clients are navigating significant financial transitions, from the growth or sale of a business to succession planning, liquidity events, concentrated wealth, or other complex financial decisions. At the same time, Salice’s focus extends beyond business owners, with an emphasis on helping individuals and families make thoughtful decisions around their wealth, both today and across generations.

“Ultimately, I want to build lasting relationships with clients and serve them from a faith-driven perspective. That is where I see myself long-term.” Phil and his wife, Amanda, live in Charlotte, NC and he credits her with fully supporting the decision to join Signature Wealth. For both Phil and Amanda, the opportunity represents more than a career move. It’s an opportunity to help individuals and families build, protect, and pass on what they have worked hard to create.

“Phil is just a great guy,” said Chidwick. “I’ve known him for years, and he’s been persistent and consistent in staying in touch while he built his career at other firms. The timing was finally right for both of us, and he joined us in Charlotte. I’m really grateful to have him, and I’m certain he’ll be an incredible asset to this team for the long term.”
