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.
