Nick Tanner
Head of Platform
Department: Internal Operations, Leadership Team
Experience: Wealth Management since 2014
Education: Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of St. Thomas
Since joining the Modern Wealth team in August 2025, Nick has led the strategic direction and administration of the firm’s wealth tech platform, focusing on system and data architecture to enhance client and advisor experiences.
Nick has always had a passion for technology and computers. When he started as an operations specialist at a small RIA out of college, he quickly became the ‘accidental admin’ for several of the technology tools they used. Since then, he’s served in operations and compliance roles, and, most recently, in a similar platform leadership role at another national RIA.
Nick lives just outside of Minneapolis with his wife, Molly, and their two sons, Charles and Thomas. They love going on hikes, fishing, and spending time outside. They also have a rescue dog named Winston, who’s definitely the least well-behaved, but also maybe the most loved member of the family.
Nick really enjoys reading and spending time with his family. While Nick acknowledges that his golf game needs a lot of work, he’s anxiously waiting for his sons to show an interest in the game so that it’s easier for him to find time to play again! A fun fact about Nick is that he delivered his son Thomas when he was born. An unforgettable moment that definitely wasn’t a part of the original birth plan.
