John Murray
MANAGING DIRECTOR, CONSULTANT

With more than 35 years of experience in financial services, John brings a unique blend of capital markets expertise, wealth management leadership, advisor coaching, and practice development to his role as a Consultant with Elements Consulting.

John began his career on the institutional side of Wall Street as a fixed income bond broker, where he traded more than $2 trillion in bonds with Wall Street Primary Dealers. That early foundation in markets, risk, relationship management, and execution shaped the way he thinks about business, leadership, and the importance of disciplined process.

He later transitioned into wealth management with Morgan Stanley, where he served in a variety of leadership and advisor development roles, including Business Development Manager, internal Financial Advisor Coach, and Associate Market Manager for the Greater Philadelphia Market. John is also a Registered Corporate Coach, RCC™, and Certified Financial Planner, CFP®. Across each role, he worked closely with advisors and leadership teams to modernize their practices, strengthen business strategy, develop leadership capacity, and build more scalable, intentional, and client-centered enterprises.

At Elements Consulting, John draws on that depth of experience to help wealth management professionals think more clearly about where they are, where they want to go, and what needs to be built to get there. His coaching and consulting approach is practical, grounded, and advisor-centric, with a focus on helping teams create structure, improve execution, deepen client relationships, and grow with greater confidence and consistency.

Originally from the New York City metropolitan area, John now lives in Lewes, Delaware, where he enjoys life at the beach with his wife, Debbie. Outside of work, he is an avid sports enthusiast with a passion for lacrosse, golf, and pickleball.
