Doris Sommavilla

Spear’s Review

Doris Sommavilla’s broad background in family governance and succession planning makes her a perfect fit for Stonehage Fleming’s family office division. Based in Zurich, she draws on her experience of inheriting wealth without a succession plan in her role, helping families design their future and preserve their assets for generations.

Sommavilla, who joined in 2021 from Blu Family Office, is herself a third-generation entrepreneur and a non-executive director of her family business, and uses her personal expertise to advise UHNWs and family enterprises.

‘I am passionate about helping families plan for succession and become resilient now and for future generations,’ she tells Spear’s. Her drive to help the next generation of female wealth owners has led her to create an award-winning mentorship network for women in family business.
