Blair Coffman Martin is a Lexington native who spent the first two decades of her career in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. She returned home to Kentucky to join the Brooks Martin team as an advisor at Baird. Blair’s process-driven approach, interest in finance and planning, and her passion for helping people dovetailed into a wonderful opportunity to combine those passions into a career. Her goals are to intimately understand her clients’ financial pictures and to help them establish a winning plan for their futures.
After graduating from Williams College, Blair moved to New York where she started her career in sales and marketing at NBC before being recruited to the tech world and joining Pandora in 2010. At Pandora, she started the advertising operations team in NYC and then moved into product development and relocated to the Bay Area in 2012. After successfully launching several products across business functions, she moved to Blend, a then-private financial tech company where she finished her tech career in Silicon Valley and built digital lending solutions for banks, credit unions, and mortgage companies. Prior to Baird, she spent a year with Tempur-Sealy in Lexington.
