Donald "Don" Jackson

Managing Director–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Don and his team deliver highly customized financial and investment solutions for individuals, families, organizations, endowments and foundations. Don joined UBS in 1994 and is known for his straightforward, approachable style and client-centric approach. A client’s financial goals are the focus of everything Don does. Just as the first step in planning a journey is to select a destination, Don’s first step with clients is to identify their unique goals, tolerance for risk and their time frame. After each of these relevant factors are identified, Don develops a proper course of action to reach specific financial objectives.

In his spare time, Don enjoys spending time with family and friends and building relationships in the Tulsa community.

“We love the work we do. And I’m grateful that my professional life has led to such an enriching personal life with the relationships I’ve built and the terrific people I’ve met along the way. We’re so fortunate to have a profound and lasting impact on our community.”

— Don Jackson
