Katherine Ellis, from international multi-family office Boston, has been announced as a finalist in the WealthBriefing European Awards 2016.

Katherine, who has been Business Development Director at Boston for the past four years, has been selected in the ‘Women in Wealth Management’ category of the awards which recognise excellence in the European wealth management industry.

With over 17 years’ experience in the sector, Katherine has been at the forefront of some major developments during her career. She was instrumental in the launch of the Isle of Man Commercial Yacht Register and the establishment of the Island’s Aircraft Register. In her role at Boston she continues to specialise in the management of commercial yachting and business aviation while also helping to grow the multi-family office proposition.

CEO of Boston Group, Greg Ellison, commented: “It is excellent news that Katherine has been selected as a finalist in these highly prestigious awards. Over the past few years, Boston has grown significantly from its small family office origins and now offers a complex mix of wealth management services to an international client base. It is thanks to the experience and expertise of talented people such as Katherine that Boston has been so successful and now enjoys a worldwide reputation that places us with some of the most esteemed names in the business.”

WealthBriefing is a business intelligence service for the wealth management industry and first introduced the awards in 2014 to spread the word about the profession’s achievements to a wider audience. Stephen Harris, publisher and ClearView Financial Media’s Chief Executive, said: “These awards will recognise the very best operators in the private client industry with independence, integrity and genuine insight the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management.”

The awards will be judged by a panel of industry experts and the winners announced at a gala dinner, attended by some 500 senior banking and wealth management professionals, at London’s historic Guildhall on 19th May.
