Kelly V. Aimone

JD, CKA® | Chief Operating Officer

Kelly excels at helping clients navigate complex situations to improve their future.  Her legal education and experience add depth to financial planning discussions.  Kelly is a builder, constantly designing and refining Patron Partners’ workflows and client experiences.  She is actively involved in Patron Partners’ corporate engagement program and personally has shareholder proposals on file with Starbucks, Caterpillar, Pfizer, Morgan Stanley & Walmart, all of which are expected to be voted upon by each company’s shareholders at their respective annual meetings in 2025.

Prior to co-founding Patron Partners, she managed client relations and business development for the Caton Figueroa Group at UBS Financial Services. Before transitioning to finance, Kelly and her husband, Callaway practiced law together in Edna, Texas. In 2017, their firm was voted “Best Law Firm in Jackson County” by the readers of the Jackson County Herald-Tribune.  Kelly graduated cum laude from the University of Texas at Austin and received her J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center.  She is licensed to practice law in Texas.

Work ethic and serving others are vitally important to Kelly. Finding fulfillment and gratitude in both, she has an extensive background of giving back, including engaging with the local Spring Branch community, teaching elementary school, clerking at the Texas Innocence Network, and serving on the boards for Hope of South Texas Child Advocacy Center and the Victoria Symphony.  In 2019, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Kelly to serve on the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.  She is a sustaining member of The Junior League of Houston and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Houston Alumnae Association. 

Kelly and her husband have a young son.  They belong to Chapelwood United Methodist Church where Kelly serves on the hospitality core committee.  Kelly loves creative projects, is an avid reader and finds peace by walking in nature.

Beginning on January 16, 2025, Kelly will embark on a six-month sabbatical to focus on family.  She thanks Patron Partners for encouraging her journey as she seeks to live a life of peace, purpose and possibilities.
