Karen Crabb

Senior Client Associate

While waiting to travel cross country with friends of mine after college I was offered 6-month part time job at Advest Inc.  (Advest Inc. was a prominent full-service regional brokerage and investment banking firm, once part of The Advest Group, offering securities trading, wealth management, and trust services, especially strong in the Northeast, until it was acquired by Merrill Lynch in 2006)  I caught the financial bug and at the end of the 6 months I was offered a full time position in the dividend department and was instrumental in implementing the dividend investment program for the firm.  After about 6 years I took a position in the Margin Department and ultimately took a management position in that department until I left in 2006. 

In 2006 I started at UBS on Greco Team handling various tasks for the team including Estate Processing and Rule 144 filings with the NYSE and SEC for Officers, Directors and major shareholders for companies such as Unted Technologies, Aetna, Campbell’ Company and Stanley Black and Decker to name a few.  Also instrumental with their ESPP and various other incentive-based compensation plans for their employees.

In 2019 I joined Cusano Wealth Management in a more traditional Senior Sales Assistant role building relationships with our clients (my favorite part) and helping them to reach their financial goals.

In my personal life I am married to my wonderful husband Dan, have 2 children and I am a new grandmother. Family time is most important to me. We love to stay active hiking and at the gym. I attended ECSU as a communication major / business minor.
