Ahmie E. Baum is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Board for Interchange Capital Partners, a premier Family Business Advisory Firm committed to empowering family-owned businesses. With over 45 years of experience, Ahmie specializes in guiding families to safeguard and grow their wealth through a strategic approach emphasizing clarity, understanding, and action.

Passionate about helping multi-generational family businesses, Ahmie excels at navigating their unique challenges, allowing them to focus on what they do best—running their core business. One of his greatest joys is getting to know the firm’s clients personally, listening to their stories, understanding their journeys, and identifying the challenges that keep them up at night.

Ahmie collaborates closely with clients to help design comprehensive plans that address their obstacles, seize opportunities, and leverage their strengths. As he manages the complex and unique situations of each family, Ahmie takes on their challenges as his own, fully committed to helping them work toward achieving their goals. His mission is to guide clients through their uncertainties, enabling them to move beyond their fears and confidently pursue their dreams.

Ahmie began his career at EF Hutton in 1979, eventually rising to the position of Senior Vice President. In 1993, he transitioned to Paine Webber, which was later acquired by UBS, where he spent nearly 27 years. During this time, he earned an Executive Certificate in Financial Planning from Duquesne University and obtained his CFP® designation. He also holds a Certificate in Family Business Advising (CFBA) from the Family Firm Institute and for the past 20 years has been involved with Strategic Coach, an international entrepreneurial training program.


When he’s not working, Ahmie enjoys spending time with his wife, Sara, their three children, and three grandchildren. He recognizes that health is wealth, so he has committed to daily yoga, meditation, and plant-based eating. His other hobbies include woodturning, golf, reading, listening to music, and biking. He is active in his community, has served as the Foundation Chair of the Jewish Federation Community Foundation of Greater Pittsburgh, and supports various philanthropic endeavors.
