Join us as we celebrate Pride Month with our fourth annual Business Leaders Breakfast presented by BMO Harris Bank on Thursday, June 20 in Appleton at The Grand Meridian. Our keynote speaker for the event is Emily Phillips.
Emily Phillips is a managing partner and financial advisor with the Drosner Phillips Ristau Group, a wealth management team at Baird. Prior to joining the financial services industry, Emily had an unconventional path and worked in a variety of industries including management consulting, information technology, advertising and marketing. Her unique background enables Emily to serve her clients in creative ways given her innate curiosity, desire to learn and capacity to adapt to change.
In addition to her day job, Emily is also actively involved in the business and nonprofit community; she serves on several business advisory and nonprofit boards. Emily is deeply committed to a variety of charities investing time and energy to the greater Milwaukee community. When she puts on her Peter Pan hat, she loves to skateboard, play golf, compete in triathlons, and a variety of other sports.
Emily was a speaker at the 2016 TEDxUWMilwaukee I Am We Are event. She is also one of the 2017 Milwaukee Business Journal 40 Under 40 award recipients and the 2018 OneMKE Driver of Diversity Professional of the Year award recipient. Although the awards demonstrate her involvement in making the world a better place, the driving force in her quest for World Domination 4 Good is because she has a passion for people, especially the underdogs.
