As a complex director, Hubbard partners with advisors to help them efficiently provide an outstanding client experience and achieve industry-leading growth for their practices. He also leads recruiting new and high potential advisors to join the firm in his territory.

“I joined Ameriprise because of the firm’s unwavering focus on delivering the tools advisors need to provide a first-rate experience to their clients, and the resources advisors want to grow their practices," said Hubbard. “I’m impressed with the way Ameriprise truly partners with advisors to help them achieve success as determined by the advisors and their team. Leaders here clear the way for advisors to focus on what they do best: providing outstanding service and solid advice that helps clients feel confident about their financial futures. It’s no wonder that Ameriprise advisors grow their practices faster than competitors.”

Hubbard started his career in 2008 and quickly moved into leadership positions with Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. He has a strong track record for helping advisors grow organically and through practice acquisitions by delivering service that exceeds client expectations.

“Advisors from across the industry are recognizing Ameriprise’s leadership in financial planning, robust integrated technology platform, wide investment capabilities, and commitment to supporting the advisor-client relationship,” said Brian Mora, Ameriprise Regional Vice President who leads the Central region. “We have big goals to grow our presence with elite advisors throughout Chicago, and I’m excited to have Jay leading this work. He brings a fresh perspective and is so passionate about partnering with advisors on the things that matter most to them.”

Hubbard will relocate to the Chicago area with his wife and five children.
