Page is a member of the President's Council of the John G. Shedd Aquarium, the MBA Alumni Advisory Council at Georgetown University, and a board member of the Ethan M. Lindberg Foundation. Page previously worked in the investment banking businesses of JP Morgan. He earned an MBA from Georgetown University and a bachelor's degree in economics from Denison University.

"We are excited to welcome Brad to Baird," says Peter Kies, head of Baird's Global Technology & Services Investment Banking group. "His deep expertise in environmental and facility services and extensive transaction experience are a tremendous addition as we continue to invest in our Technology & Services team."
