In addition, Burke was the managing director of UBS America’s Wealth Management platform, COO of New York Life’s Investment Management Group and chief compliance officer for Prudential’s private asset management business.

Burke earned a Juris Doctor degree from Rutgers Law School and a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from Seton Hall University.
