Tina Decker is Senior Vice President of Business Development at BridgePort Financial Solutions (BridgePort), where she leads the firm's M&A strategy and execution within the fee-only registered investment advisor (RIA) marketplace. She is responsible for identifying and evaluating acquisition and partnership opportunities, guiding transactions from sourcing and due diligence through negotiation and closing, and collaborating across the organization to support successful advisor onboarding and integration.

Decker brings more than 25 years of financial services experience to BridgePort, with deep expertise in M&A, succession planning, advisor growth, and strategic execution. Prior to joining BridgePort, she spent more than two decades with Osaic (formerly Advisor Group), most recently as Vice President of M&A and Succession Planning. In that role, she partnered with advisors on acquisitions, continuity planning, and succession strategies, negotiating and executing more than 400 transactions representing over $10 billion in assets acquired and retained. She also rolled out Osaic's first-ever formal acquisition lending program.

While at Osaic, Decker created two innovative platforms: an award-winning, interactive advisor M&A marketplace and a proprietary business valuation and prescriptive analytics system, which provides advisors with key performance indicators and benchmarking data. She also developed systems and processes designed to streamline the M&A experience for advisors and represented the firm nationally at industry conferences, speaking engagements, and webinars.

Decker earned an Associate of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Rio Salado College and is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She holds FINRA Series 7, 24, 63, and 66 licenses.
