Conor Hourigan is the founder of Global Wealth Talent, a discreet independent practice focused on senior references and talent coverage for family offices, other principal investors who partner with them, and the private wealth sector more broadly.

He brings twenty-five years of experience at the strategic end of the industry, including as Co-Global Head of Talent Acquisition at UBS Wealth Management and Senior Client Partner at Korn Ferry. That background spans private banks, wealth managers, family offices, PE firms, and institutional investors across markets that approach hiring, assessment, and people decisions in fundamentally different ways.

Conor works with family offices and other principal investors on mandates where the formal record does not tell the complete story - advisor and board appointments, senior executive hiring decisions, and due diligence on individuals a family is considering committing capital to. He also works with private banks, wealth managers, RIAs, and multi-family offices on senior client advisor and portable team coverage, where an advisor or team considering a move to better serve their clients demands discretion, access, and trust above all else.

His client base is roughly half North America and half EMEA, APAC, and LatAm.

Born and raised in Ireland, Conor spent over thirteen years in New York covering the Americas market before relocating to London, where he now serves a global client base. He holds a BSc in Finance from University College Cork.
