Hugh works closely with founders of private companies, C-suite executives of public companies, and other accomplished individuals, managing their financial affairs with diligence and deft coordination. A capable team leader, Hugh connects clients to the resources that high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients require, sensitive to their distinctive interests and intentions. He offers the knowledge and experience he has gained from serving a preeminent clientele, helping them regain precious time for their personal and professional pursuits. Clients look to Hugh as a trusted confidante and reliable guide who can help them preserve and grow dynastic wealth.
Hugh points to the depth of his team as a differentiating factor for clients and their families.
