Since then Azelby has gone on to a career at JPMorgan Chase, which he joined after leaving the NFL[2] and where he served as global head of JP Morgan's real asset investment group, overseeing a team of 400 investment professionals investments worth in excess of $60 billion. In the spring of 2017, he joined Apollo Global Management in a similar role.[3] He left Apollo in 2018 after differences with other managers over attracting investors and assembling a team for the real assets division.[4] In March 2019, Azelby was announced as the head of UBS's $100 billion real estate and private markets division.[5]
Raised in Dumont and a graduate of Bergen Catholic High School and Harvard University, Azelby now lives in New York City with his new wife Lisa - with whom he shacked up after leaving his ex-wife and 3 daughters - and their two young kids.
