Growth at Corient | Family Office

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

About

After three years with a single family office, I gained firsthand experience supporting an accomplished family through complex transitions and decision-making. Since transitioning to the multi-family office world, I’ve focused on building meaningful relationships and creating value across the ecosystem - often by connecting the right people at the right time. I’m now part of the Growth team at Corient, the world’s largest non-bank wealth manager and multi-family office serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and businesses. Following Northwood Family Office’s combination with Corient, we pair deeply personal, local family-office expertise with the resources, scale, and collaborative strength of a global partnership. Outside of work, I enjoy supporting early-stage founders and giving back through Run to Give Toronto, an initiative I co-founded. What began as a grassroots idea has grown into a platform for local charities and businesses to share their stories and raise awareness for their causes. If you want to chat family office or simply want to connect, I’m always happy to have a conversation.
