Mr. O'Flynn has worked for United Financial Group in several capacities throughout his career.  He most recently rejoined UFG in April, 2009, after spending several years with Deutsche Bank following DB's 2005 purchase of UFG's investment banking operations. Mr. O'Flynn was a partner at UFG's investment bank, where he successfully built the firm's consistently top-rated sales and trading franchise, first in Moscow and later in New York.  Prior to that, he worked for Deutsche Bank in Tokyo for four years after he was redeployed from Deutsche's Moscow office following the 1998 Russian financial crisis. 

Mr. O'Flynn holds the unique distinction of being ranked the #1 institutional investment advisor in back-to-back years on two continents in two completely different markets - by AsiaMoney magazine in 2001 and 2002 for his efforts in Japan, and then by Thompson Financial/EuroMoney in 2004 and 2005 in Russia. 

Mr. O'Flynn began his career as a corporate and mortgage-backed bond trader for Lehman Brothers after graduating from Dartmouth College in 1991.  He received an MBA from the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1998.  He is conversant in Russian, Japanese, and Spanish.  A former All-Ivy linebacker, Mr. O'Flynn serves on the Dartmouth Football Alumni Advisory Board.  He is also a Member of the Board of the U.S.-Russia Chamber of Commerce of New England.
