Executive Assistant Brad Daley

Brad grew up on the campus of Milton Academy, an elite prep school just outside of Boston where both of his parents were teachers. His father taught Latin, French, and Italian, and his mother piano and voice. Following in his parents ’ footsteps, Brad developed a lifelong passion for languages and choral singing during his 13 years at Milton (K through 12). Brad then attended Harvard where he majored in English Literature and performed in the Hasty Pudding Theatricals and with the Harvard Krokodiloes. After brief stint in New York City working in advertising, Brad was inspired to relocate to

Tokyo, where he lived for three years, working as an international account executive in a PR firm and learning to speak Japanese, before returning to the US to earn an MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. After Wharton and a few years in sales at a Washington DC health care consulting firm, Brad returned to New York in 1998 and found his career passion as an executive assistant supporting dynamic executives, first at Martha Stewart, and later as executive assistant to the directors of design and merchandising at Eileen Fisher. His 13 years in New York also provided an opportunity to spend lots of time with his nephews Brad and Robbie, giving him a close relationship with them that he will always treasure. In 2011 the time seemed right to act on a lifelong dream of moving to Los Angeles. During his ten years there, Brad had a number of exciting positions, including a role as the Assistant to the Administrative Team at Palisades Charter High School in Pacific Palisades, before joining Hillcrest Country Club in April of 2017 as Executive Assistant to the General Manager. During his five years at Hillcrest, Brad thrived in supporting the GM (who was Miles Tucker, our new Executive Director), club president, and executive managers, and was the person primarily responsible for the development of Club - wide messages and event marketing campaigns. When not at work, Brad enjoys travel, working out, going to the beach, museums, and attending musical performances. He is also hopeful to find a choral group in the Palm Beach area that will provide an opportunity for him to continue to enjoy the experience of making great music in his spare time.
