Steven Michael "Steve" Graziano SalesPage Technologies, LLC Special Advisor to the CEO

Earlier this month, Aric Faber, CEO of SalesPage Technologies, LLC, confirmed that Steve Graziano has joined the 41-year-old, Kalamazoo, Michigan-based technology shop that specializes in helping more than 90 asset managers with their distribution data. Franklin, Massachusetts-based Graziano now serves as a special advisor to Faber.

Graziano most recently served as president of Touchstone Investments for 11 years before retiring at the end of 2020.

"After spending several years as a SalesPage client, I got to know their leadership, their reputation, and built a trusted relationship," Graziano states. "I look forward to advising their team, sharing my expertise, and ultimately benefiting the industry through the evolution of next-generation technology and services."

Faber, for his part, lauds Graziano for the latter's "love of the industry and his willingness to provide support and advice to those he was working with."

"I am honored to have Steve join us," Faber states. "With his counsel and leadership, we will enhance our ability to deliver more value to our clients and leverage his experience to meet the needs of the rapidly changing market."

Before taking over Touchstone in 2009, Graziano spent 14 years in distribution and marketing leadership roles at Pioneer. Earlier, he held leadership roles at Fidelity and Temple, Barket & Sloane, and he co-founded Boston Research Group. He is an alumnus of UMass Amherst's Isenberg School of Management.
