Experience

The founder and team leader of Kichler Wealth Management, Leonard leads an experienced team that focuses on high net worth and ultra-high net worth families who often face complex financial situations. These clients are business owners and top business executives, as well as professionals such as physicians, attorneys and accountants. As one of a small number of UBS Financial Advisors who have earned the designation of Private Wealth Advisor, Leonard provides highly personalized wealth management services, listening carefully to clients’ needs, helping them formulate goals and often working with multiple generations within families.

Leonard joined UBS in 2007 when UBS acquired McDonald Investments, where he had served as a Financial Advisor and Private Banker since 2003.  Previously, he had spent 23 years as a senior banker, serving as Executive Vice President at Metropolitan Bank & Trust and Senior Vice President at National City Corp. His background as a senior officer in a public company helps him empathize with top corporate executives, while his experience as a senior banker is especially useful for those seeking advice on lending, credit card services and other business-related issues. Whatever his clients’ needs, Leonard feels a true sense of satisfaction helping people successfully plan for retirement, children’s weddings, travel, philanthropic giving and any other financial goals they may have.

Leonard graduated with a B.A. in Business Administration from the Ross School at the University of Michigan and holds an M.B.A. from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. He is a lifelong Clevelander with four beautiful daughters. He is on the board (and has served as past Board Chair) of the Arthritis Foundation of Northeastern Ohio and In-Motion. In his free time, Leonard is an avid musician and enjoys golf, tennis, spending time with family and friends and traveling.

Conor’s career at UBS began in 2015, when he joined the firm through the Wealth Planning Associate program, where he was tasked with creating/updating and presenting hundreds of financial plans for clients of financial advisors all around Northeast Ohio. This provided him with invaluable experience in a wide range of planning situations that help him serve his clients in his role financial advisor on the Kichler Wealth Management team. Being able to connect with clients, to learn about their families, upbringing, careers, concerns and goals—and then deliver personalized solutions that fit their specific set of circumstances--is the most satisfactory part of his job.

In his role as a financial advisor, Conor focuses on financial planning, investment management and next-generation relationships. In his early thirties, he has experienced many of the life events that the team’s clients or client’s children experience—from raising young children to buying first homes—which helps him relate on a personal level to the issues they may face.

Conor grew up on Cleveland’s West Side and has volunteered his time at the Westside Catholic Center since becoming an Associate Board member there in 2017. He loves spending time with his wife, Nicolette, and their son, Caden. He stays physically active through basketball, golf and working out, and enjoys cheering on Cleveland’s sports teams, traveling and exploring new cuisines and restaurants.
