Apex Group's new head of family office brings 20 years of client experience in the UK and overseas, including at Barclays.

Apex Group has appointed Lucia Perchard as head of family office market. She will report to Matt Claxton, global head of corporate solutions.

In the newly-created role based in Jersey, Perchard will be responsible for delivering the group’s offering to family office clients globally. She is joining Apex from IQ-EQ where she was responsible for the development of its family office value proposition. 
 
Before this, she was a director in Highvern’s family office team, prior to which she was responsible for relationships and complex cross-jurisdictional structures at Barclays and, more recently, Zedra in Jersey. 

She brings two decades of experience working with and serving families and individual clients in the UK and the Middle East. Perchard started her career as a graduate at offshore law firm Mourant, before working at Volaw and subsequently RBC.
