                                              Executive Director

                                              Family Advisor/Family Office Solutions Group

                                              In January 2019, Nicole joined the newly formed Family Office Solutions (FOS) team within UBS Private Wealth Management, serving as a Senior Strategist representing Family Advisory and Philanthropy Services Americas. Nicole works closely with Advisors in Private Wealth Management, where FOS delivers dedicated and comprehensive services to ultra-high net worth clients. 

                                              Nicole joined UBS in 2014 to establish and lead the UBS Optimus Foundation presence in the U.S.; a global network that supports programs focused on the potential to be transformative, scalable and sustainable in the areas of health, education and child protection.

                                              Managing Director

                                              Head of Sports and Entertainment

                                              Wale Ogunleye leads the UBS Sports and Entertainment business for Wealth Management USA. As head of the division, Wale draws on his background as a college and professional football player to help Financial Advisors understand and address the needs of athletes and entertainers. The goal of the team is to facilitate holistic advice and planning for these high-profile individuals, and provide Financial Advisors who are focused on this segment with the resources they need to grow their business.

                                              Making a difference—beyond the game Wale notes that, far too often, we see our favorite athletes or entertainers in the news because they have made poor financial choices or listened to unsound advice. As an NFL player, he had the common experience of being offered a wide variety of financial opportunities without any context for how to evaluate them. After his football career, Wale pursued his interest in business by earning his M.B.A. He joined UBS in order to help make a positive impact on the lives of athletes and entertainers.

                                              Wale is a natural leader who was named Most Valuable Player by the Miami Dolphins in 2004. As the team captain for the Chicago Bears in 2006, he helped them win their conference title and reach Super Bowl XLI. He brings that leadership experience to UBS, working with Financial Advisors to harness the firm’s capabilities on behalf of their sports and entertainment clients.

                                              Wale is singularly focused on creating a division that is thoughtful in its approach, rigorous in its planning, grounded in integrity and dedicated to putting clients first. Wale’s goal is simple: to advise every client as if they were the CEO of a multimillion- dollar business. The team will also help student athletes prepare for life after college by educating them about personal financial topics.

                                            What defines family success? A business, property, or is it more elusive: traditions, values, ethics? And how will you pass it on to the next generation with forethought, clear goals and careful execution?

                                            Too often, before sharing assets, we neglect the actual communication of wishes, plans and expectations. Let’s change that.
