About Celene Funke Maneage

My name is Celene Funke, Financial Advisor for The Zoltak Funke Group. I was born and raised in Carmel, IN and now reside in Waterford, WI. I earned my undergraduate degree in finance and MBA from the University of Louisville. During my 5 years at Louisville, I competed as a student-athlete for the Cardinals softball team. I enjoy giving back to the game by coaching softball lessons for young players in the area.I joined Baird in 2021 after working two years with another wealth management firm. The Financial Advisor role is a perfect fit for me as the business world has always been a point of interest. From running lemonade stands at the age of 5 to working with clients to formulate a tailored portfolio for their unique situation, finance continues to be a passion of mine. My favorite part of the business is the relationship building that occurs between the advisor and client. It is such an impactful role as we walk through life together to help create a clear vision for each client’s financial future.
