Harold D. Elish, CFP, CPWA

Managing Director–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Harry joined UBS in 2006, but has been a financial advisor for 40 years. Shortly after graduating from Princeton University, he joined one of Smith Barney’s predecessor firms, where he spent 25 years building his practice and helping clients realize their financial and personal goals. He moved his team to UBS’s New York headquarters because it offers a robust degree of support for its private clients.

On the personal side, he loves spending time with his family. He is also a bit of a health nut and finds that exercise is a great stress reducer. When he can find the time, he reads historical novels and enjoys the cultural beat of New York City. He is also energized by the work he does with nonprofit educational groups in New York City.

Kevin M. O'Leary, CFA, CFP

Managing Director–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Kevin has spent over 20 years in the financial services industry. After graduating from the University of Vermont, he started his career at Marsh and McLennan as an insurance broker. He made a big change in 2000 when he joined Sanford Bernstein as a financial advisor, helping families and individuals pursue their goals. Like Harry, he saw a better chance to take care of his clients at UBS and moved his practice here in 2009. Along the way, he earned his Chartered Financial Analyst® and Certified Financial Planner™ certifications.

Outside of work, he enjoys staying active. He and his wife have three children, so many weekends are spent cheering on their soccer, lacrosse or swim teams. When not on the sidelines, some of his favorite activities include skiing, biking, running and playing platform tennis. He also values the time he spends volunteering as the treasurer for a local charity that works to help underprivileged children in New York City.

Timothy Turpin

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Tim took a roundabout path to the world of financial planning. After getting an M.B.A., he sat on a number of Wall Street trading desks, executing transactions with corporate and mortgage-backed bonds. The last of those positions was on UBS’s Premier Fixed Income Trading Desk. There, he was given the chance to have direct client contact. It has been over 10 years that he has spent devising financial plans for families and helping them execute those plans, and he could not be happier.

When Tim is not in the office, you can find him near water, riding waves on the Jersey shore or fly fishing in a local river. He also works with American Corporate Partners, helping veterans make the transition from the armed forces to fulfilling careers.
