I founded Global Wealth Talent as a strategic advisory practice focused on the client-advisory engine of UHNW/HNW wealth managers—at both leadership and individual-advisor levels.

My career spans over 20 years in private wealth across EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and North America. I understand Europe, the Middle East, and Asia’s cross-border booking centres and compensation structures, as well as the North American domestic model. This mix has shaped a practical view of how culture, leadership, and client loyalty work day-to-day in very different firm structures.

Born and raised in Ireland, I bring an internationally experienced yet culturally neutral perspective that travels well across markets and supports trust in sensitive conversations.

Previously, I served as Senior Partner, Global Wealth Management at Korn Ferry, working on C-suite, market-leadership, and origination roles with global sponsors, multifamily offices, and specialist UHNW financing and advisory platforms. Earlier, I was Co-Global Head of Talent Acquisition at UBS Wealth Management, sitting on the Americas HR Executive Committee in New York and the Global Talent & Recruiting Committee in Zurich. I began my leadership-advisory career with Russell Reynolds Associates and have completed more than 300 leadership mandates and advisory engagements.

I have lived and worked in London; New York (for more than a decade); the Cayman Islands; and the Channel Islands, and have worked extensively with Switzerland—both as an executive at UBS and through meetings with advisors for engagements. I hold a B.Sc. in Finance from University College Cork and started my career on State Street Global Advisors’ international graduate programme. I am a dual Irish and U.S. citizen.
