NAPFA Spring 2026 National Conference Speaker

Aryel Gladden-Banning has spent nearly a decade embedded in RIA operations, helping solo advisors build the systems needed to grow without the wheels coming off. After wearing nearly every hat at a growing independent firm — operations, client experience, marketing, and process design — she launched her own consulting practice to help other small firm advisors do the same. She brings a ground-level perspective on what scalable actually looks like when you're the one building it.
