Equiom has appointed Lionel Richard to the newly created group-wide role to coordinate its luxury asset services across multiple jurisdictions.
Richard will advise ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices on the structuring and administration of high-value mobile assets.
The appointment follows increased demand for cross-border solutions in managing complex assets.
Richard will work within the group’s private wealth and corporate services divisions to help clients navigate regulatory frameworks and governance requirements in the yachting and aviation sectors.
Richard joins the firm with more than 17 years of experience in the international superyacht sector.
He has previously held senior leadership roles in global businesses across London and Monaco, focusing on commercial strategy and the full lifecycle of asset ownership.
The group, which employs more than 400 professionals across the UK, Asia, and the Middle East, stated the role will focus on scaling its market-facing proposition.
Richard is fluent in French and English and will be responsible for building international partnerships with specialist advisers.
Jon Jennings, chief executive of Equiom, said: “Lionel’s appointment reflects our commitment to strengthening and evolving our global service offering in line with client needs. Luxury assets are an increasingly important component of ownership and structuring for internationally mobile private and corporate clients.
“His experience, industry relationships and strategic mindset will play a key role in further enhancing our Luxury Asset Services, building on the Group’s established specialist expertise and supporting our continued growth in this area.”
Richard added: “The ownership and management of luxury assets is becoming increasingly complex, particularly for clients operating across multiple jurisdictions. There is a clear need for a coordinated approach that brings together governance, structuring and day-to-day administration in a seamless way.”
