The Integrated Advisor: How to Develop Talent for Ultra High Net Worth Families
Show notes:In this episode, Jamie McLaughlin sits down with David Salsberg (President and Founder, Gresham Partners) and Michael Zeuner (WE Family Offices) to explore what it really means to be an "integrated advisor" in the ultra high net worth space.They discuss why complexity and multi-generational wealth demand advisors who can connect the dots across investment, tax, legal and estate planning, rather than specialists working in silos. David and Michael share how their firms identify, hire and develop this talent from the ground up, including structured development programmes, mentorship models and the patience required to build these skills over a decade or more.The conversation also covers how AI and changing organisational models are reshaping the talent pipeline, and why retention hinges on giving advisors a clear career path and genuine ownership of client relationships.Topics covered:What distinguishes an integrated advisor from a specialistThe skills that can be taught versus those that must be developed through experienceHow Gresham Partners and We Family Offices structure talent development and mentorshipThe impact of AI on organisational design in wealth managementWhy retention and culture are now central to serving ultra high net worth familiesVisit The Ultra High Net Worth Institute website here - https://www.uhnwinstitute.org/

The New Family Office Frontier: Longevity, Human Capital & the Rise of the Chief Wellness Officer
Welcome to this episode of the SFO Circle Podcast with host, Kristen Oliveri.For decades, family offices have focused on preserving and growing financial capital. But increasingly, families are asking a different question: How do we preserve and optimize human capital?Conversations about health are evolving. What was once considered a personal matter is increasingly becoming a family office priority, from longevity and preventive care to caregiving, wellness and quality of life.In this episode, Kristen is joined by Zachary Faas, Vice President, Client Advisory and Consulting and Doctor of Psychology at Intent Clinical, Lisa Iaquez, Corporate Director, Business Development and Longevity Advisory at Canyon Ranch and Dr. Brian Dooreck, Founder and President of Executive Health Navigation. Together they explore the growing intersection of family offices, longevity and wellness. They discuss emerging trends, what families are asking for, the realities of aging and caregiving, and the concept of a Chief Wellness Officer—a role that may become as important to some families as their investment advisor or estate attorney.As family offices continue to evolve, the definition of wealth is expanding beyond financial assets alone. Increasingly, families are recognizing that longevity, wellness, caregiving and overall quality of life deserve the same thoughtful planning as investments, governance and estate structures.You can find out more about the work of The Institute here: https://www.uhnwinstitute.org/

The Global Experience Economy: How UHNW Families Are Redefining Luxury
INTRO: Welcome to the SFO Circle Podcast, where we explore the ideas, strategies, and evolving dynamics shaping today’s single family offices and the families they serve.I’m Kristen Oliveri, Senior Advisor to the Institute and the SFO Circle, and in this episode, we turn to a topic that continues to gain momentum across the ultra-high-net-worth community: the rise of the global experience economy.Today, I’m joined by Teresa Chope, CEO and Founder of Gallivant, for a conversation on how today’s wealth holders are redefining luxury through experiences, from major global events like the Olympics, World Cup, and Formula 1 to more bespoke, invitation-only moments that blend travel, access, and connection.Together, we'll explore what's actually driving today's most discerning families — beyond the familiar narratives — how the global lifestyle calendar has evolved from a list of events into a strategic tool, what it really takes to access the world's most coveted moments, and where Teresa sees the experience economy heading over the next few years.It’s a conversation about access, intention, and how experiences are becoming one of the most meaningful expressions of wealth today.Let’s dive in. QUESTIONS: Teresa, there's been no shortage of commentary about ultra-wealthy families shifting from possessions to experiences. The New York Times, Robb Report, Condé Nast — everyone is covering it. But you're in the rooms with these families. What is the conventional wisdom getting wrong, or oversimplifying, about what's actually happening at the UHNW level?How has the concept of a “global lifestyle calendar” evolved for UHNW individuals and families?Why do major global events—like the Olympics, World Cup, or Formula 1—hold such strong appeal for this audience?How are families using these events not just for entertainment, but for connection, networking, or multi-generational bonding?Art is something we don't always associate with the experience economy in the same breath as Formula 1 or the Olympics — but you've described it as one of the most quietly powerful anchors on the UHNW calendar. Can you talk about that? What does access at the highest level look like— or the kind of invitation-only previews that never make it into any publication?What are some of the anchor events that tend to show up on the UHNW social calendar each year?Can you walk us through the different tiers of access that exist around major global events?What separates traditional VIP hospitality from the truly ultra-exclusive experiences?Are UHNW clients increasingly seeking experiences that feel private, behind-the-scenes, or invitation-only?Private aviation is often framed as a convenience, a time-saver. But in your experience, has it fundamentally changed what's even possible for a family trying to construct an ambitious global life — in ways that go beyond logistics?Is it primarily about efficiency and flexibility, or does it unlock a different level of access entirely?What trends are you seeing in how ultra-wealthy families pursue their personal passions and interests globally?Are younger generations approaching luxury travel and global experiences differently than previous generations?If someone wanted to start building their own global events calendar, what would be the first two or three experiences you would recommend?CONCLUSION:As we’ve explored today, the rise of the global experience economy is reshaping how families think about wealth, not just as something to preserve, but as something to live.From intentional global calendars to art previews that never make it into print, to multi-generational journeys that become part of a family's defining story — the through line is always the same: the most meaningful experiences don't happen by accident. They're designed.A special thank you to Teresa Chope for sharing her perspective and insights with us.And thank you, as always, for being part of the SFO Circle community.If you enjoyed this conversation, we invite you to subscribe, share, and continue engaging with us as we explore the ideas shaping the future of single family offices.
