Sheppard has 20 years’ industry experience and joined the family office from EFG Private Bank where she was a senior director, responsible for a portfolio for UK high net-worth clients and families.
At Stonehage Fleming she will work mostly with one of the firm’s long-held family clients. She will be based in London and report to partner, Mark Sullivan.
Before working at EFG Private Bank, Sheppard spent 15 years looking after private client relationships at HSBC Private Bank, and before that was head of individual banking at Svenska Handelsbanken.
Graham Wainer, CEO and head of investments at the firm, said: “Eva’s seniority, her reputation as a trusted adviser, and her experience working with families that span generations and geographies is synonymous with our approach to total wealth management.
“I am pleased to welcome her to Stonehage Fleming.”
Sheppard added: “Stonehage Fleming is truly a pioneer of the family office with its multi-disciplinary advisory model and impressive roster of large international clients.
“The needs of our clients are constantly evolving and we in turn need to offer broader servicers and a deeper understanding of the issues they may face.
“It is an exciting time for the company and it gives me great pleasure to be a part of the journey.”
