San Jose-based O’Connor & Associates is led by Ting O’Connor, who will be a managing director at UBS Private Wealth Management. O’Connor has 23 years of experience and had been affiliated with Merrill since 2001, according to her BrokerCheck report.
She’s joined in the move by two staffers, senior wealth strategy associate Jenny Brummer and client service associate Erica Soriano.
Garden City-based Cuneo Denihan & Associates is led by Paul L. Cuneo, who will be a managing director and financial advisor at UBS Wealth Management. Cuneo has 36 years of experience and had been affiliated with Merrill since 1987, according to his BrokerCheck report.
