Our Team

Salvatore Picciallo is the Founder and CEO of Metaparadigm Wealth Management. He is an experienced financial advisor with over two decades serving clients.

Born and raised in New York City, Salvatore has always had a passion for finance. He began his career after graduating with honors from Boston College in 2002. He worked alongside industry veterans at UBS and Merrill Lynch where he developed his understanding of financial markets and the importance of treating clients like family. He worked at JPMorgan for over ten years and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the top financial advisors in the New York area in both AUM and revenue.

In 2016, Salvatore became hyper focused on the medical field when his one-year-old daughter, Mia experienced a traumatic brain injury. He learned firsthand that financial planning for a family with a member who has special needs requires a different approach. Taking your family’s health and genetics into consideration is a new way of thinking within wealth management.

Salvatore Picciallo founded Metaparadigm Wealth Management in 2021 around the belief that each client deserves an individualized approach to financial planning as unique as their DNA.
