The new hire is the latest in a series of appointments which now sees six of Stonehage Fleming’s family office businesses being led by women.

UK multi-family office Stonehage Fleming has appointed Priyanka Hindocha (pictured) as head of the UK family office, starting immediately.

Hindocha joined Stonehage Fleming’s UK family office team as a senior associate in 2019, having previously spent five years in the private client services team at Deloitte. She was appointed director at Stonehage Fleming in 2021, before being promoted to partner in June of this year, the firm said in a statement.

Over her career, Hindocha has gained experience supporting an international client base of high net worth families across the range of their affairs, from decision-making to governance and succession planning, and tailoring the group’s services to the complex, individual requirements of each family.

As well as overseeing the UK Family Office, Hindocha will work with stakeholders to ensure growth of the business and achievement for the UK family office team.

Priyanka will be based in London and will report to Greg Harris, head of family office – British Islands, the firm continued. Priyanka is the latest in a series of appointments which now sees six of Stonehage Fleming’s family office businesses being led by women: Kim Brown in the Isle of Man; Gillian Ralston Jordan in Guernsey; Lorna Beckley in Geneva; Caroline Bauer in Zurich; and Jacqui Cheshire as head of Switzerland, the firm added.

“It is an interesting time for families and family offices, with themes such as political uncertainty, risk management and navigating the transition to the next generation to consider,” Priyanka said. “It has been a rewarding five years with the team and I am proud to have the opportunity to lead us to greater growth as we support many of the world’s leading families and wealth creators across generations and geographies.”
