    Kellie Brady is a Managing Director and Market Director for the 1285 Avenue of the Americas office. 

    Kellie has spent her entire 27-year career at UBS, beginning with predecessor firm PaineWebber. Following the merger of PaineWebber with UBS Financial Services Inc. in 2000, Kellie opted to pursue a career in management. She quickly ascended to a number of key field leadership positions, including Complex Director of the Columbus, OH branch – a position she held from 2006-2008.

    Since her return to New York City in 2008, Kellie has focused her efforts on strengthening the industry's leading wealth management office. As a Private Wealth Management leader, Kellie combines the client focus of a boutique with the footprint, strength and expertise of the world's only truly global wealth manager. This approach has led to the 1285 Avenue of the Americas office as becoming the branch of choice for high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients and the Private Wealth Advisors who serve them.

    Kellie holds her Executive MBA from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from St. John's University. Kellie is passionate about inspiring and igniting the next generation of female entrepreneurs. To that end, she has served on several panels for UBS, St. John's University and Queens College, speaking to young women about their professional aspirations and careers in wealth management. An active member of the community, Kellie is an ardent supporter of a number of philanthropic organizations, including St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation, No Greater Sacrifice, and the American Corporate Partners Mentorship Program, a nationwide nonprofit organization that assists veterans transitioning from meaningful military careers to the civilian workforce.
