One of the founders of Lowenhaupt Global Advisors is returning, to take on the post of president.

Lowenhaupt Global Advisors, the US family office, has bolstered its own succession planning by bringing back one of its founders as president.

Chris Quinn will work alongside chairman and CEO Charles Lowenhaupt – a regular writer in these pages - in setting the strategic direction of the firm, developing LGA’s management team and managing its operations in St Louis, New York and Chicago.

“Chris played a key role in the founding of LGA, and his appointment as president is part of our succession planning to ensure the long-term continuity and growth of the firm,” Lowenhaupt said.

Quinn helped found LGA in 2006 and served as chief family office executive. He has also run a venture capital firm, served on numerous business and charitable boards and advised family offices across the globe, primarily on succession, planning and investments. Earlier in his career, Quinn was a practising attorney at a multi-national law firm. His career has taken some turns: Quinn re-joined LGA in 2017 and has helped LGA add new technology, clients and personnel.
