There have been a number of high-profile arrivals and departures at the Chicago-based organization in recent months.

Family Office Exchange, the US-based organization acting for advisors and family office heads, has appointed Gabrielle Griffin as market leader for business owners and family office executives.

Griffin will be responsible for providing knowledge, education, and peer exchange opportunities for clients, as well as leading the overall FOX Family Office Council experience. She will also manage multiple councils and, as a member of the FOX leadership team, will serve as the moderator for the Investment Network .

“Gaby’s expertise and experience in working with business owners is critical as this segment of our FOX membership continues to grow. Business owner needs are varied, ranging from the basics of starting a family office to managing the complexity of sustaining a multi-generational enterprise family," Bill Sullivan, president of FOX, said.

Griffin brings 25 years of wealth management, corporate banking, investment, and strategic advisory experience to the role. She joined FOX from Capital Group. Prior to that, she held leadership positions at LaSalle Bank NA advising business owners, their families and family offices, as well as working directly with ultra-high net worth clients as a relationship manager for Abbot Downing. Griffin has been involved with the FOX community for more than 20 years.

Griffin earned a BA in political science from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and obtained a Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA®) designation at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 2013. She is a member of the Chicago Estate Planning Council (CEPC), Women Investment Professionals, 100 Women in Finance, DyMynd Angels, and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). Gaby has served on the Board of Trustees for Victory Gardens Theater since 2012. Additionally, she has held several other positions in the non-profit sector.

Among recent comings and goings at FOX, Alexandre Monnier, who was president at the organization for more than seven years, was later named managing director of wealth sustainability at Hawthorn PNC Family Wealth. Bill Sullivan also joined Family Office Exchange as president. For the past 10 years, Sullivan  served as the global head of financial services market intelligence at Capgemini.
