About
I help ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices and their boards protect and grow what matters most: capital, governance and legacy. With 30+ years assisting private clients and corporate boards across the globe with an emphasis on the Middle East, I lead IQ-EQ's Private Wealth & Family Office segment for the region, working directly with principals and their advisers on the structures and governance that will outlast any single generation.
My focus sits at the intersection of governance and execution: assisting with the design and implementation of multi-jurisdictional holding structures for business interests, investments, lifestyle assets and philanthropy; chairing and advising family and investment committees; and building the succession frameworks and family constitutions that keep principals aligned across generations.
Where I add the most value:
· Multi-jurisdictional structuring for holding companies, trusts and foundations
· Family governance & succession planning — constitutions, councils, next-generation readiness
· Board and family-office governance advisory for principals and trustees
· Cross-border wealth transactions
I'm a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) and Fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute (FCIS).
Open to conversations with principals, trustees and boards navigating governance, succession or structuring decisions.
