Two UBS Group Managing Directors have been named among the 25
Most Powerful Women in Finance by American Banker magazine. Paula
Polito, Client Strategy Officer of UBS Wealth Management Americas,
and Dawn Fitzpatrick, Global Head and CIO of UBS O'Connor, were
honored for their business acumen, personal and professional
achievements. The 13th annual ranking recognizes women whose
outstanding performance is driving change in the non-bank finance
sector, including capital markets, asset management, investment
banking and card networks.
"Leaders like Dawn and Paula set a great example for all of us
and typify the standard of excellence we strive for at UBS," said
Bob McCann, President Americas, UBS. "I'm proud to join colleagues
from across our businesses in congratulating them on this important
recognition."
Throughout her 35-year career, Paula Polito has held a variety
of roles at different firms and been an active speaker and
supporter of the wealth management industry. While marketing and
strategy are her cornerstone, at UBS she has had the opportunity to
run four specialized businesses: Institutional Consulting,
Retirement Plan Consulting Services, Equity Plan Advisory Services,
and the UBS Wealth Advice Center for emerging affluent clients.
Polito found creative ways to innovate in each business and unlock
their potential for future growth.
"I am honored to be recognized by American Banker and proud to
be in such good company with my dear friend and colleague, Dawn
Fitzpatrick. Being at UBS has given me and many other women
tremendous opportunities," said Polito.
As Global Head and Chief Investment Officer of O'Connor, Dawn
Fitzpatrick is responsible for the investment, risk and business
decisions at the single manager hedge fund platform of UBS Global
Asset Management. Dawn was recently selected to join the esteemed
Federal Reserve’s Investor Advisory Committee on Financial Markets,
a forum of 14 leaders in the investment community. They discuss
financial, economic and public policy issues and help inform the
New York Fed president and senior management. Fitzpatrick is also a
member of 100 Women in Hedge Funds, a global organization focused
on educational programming and philanthropy.
"I'm grateful to American Banker for recognizing the
achievements of myself and Paula. It's a privilege for us to be
ranked with inspiring leaders in the industry," said
Fitzpatrick.
