Episode notes

“I don't think the system, the family system, can thrive until you focus on the individual.”

Jill Shipley is one of the most thoughtful people working today in the family wealth space. She has been working closely with substantial families for years and has many interesting takes on family unity, prenups, secrets, and baggage, how to train wealth advisors, and what the shows Succession and Billions get wrong.

Jill Shipley is Managing Director and Head of Family Governance and Education at AlTi Tiedemann Global. Prior to joining Tiedemann, Jill was Senior Managing Director at Cresset Capital, leading the firm’s governance and education practice, and prior acted as Managing Director in the Institute for Family Culture at Abbot Downing, where she was a family wealth consultant focused on family dynamics, education & governance, family business transitions, and social impact analysis. Jill has been on the faculty with Stetson University’s School of Business, where she taught courses on family businesses. She also served as an invited faculty member with the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Executive Education Wealth Management Program. Jill holds both an MBA and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Stetson University.
