Andra Ilie

Spear’s Review

Andra Ilie, senior adviser at HSBC Global Private Banking, advises multigenerational families, family offices and family businesses on issues of governance and philanthropy. 

This advice can range from establishing family constitutions and making succession plans, to creating family offices and advising on philanthropic strategy after an inheritance, liquidity event or divorce.

Ilie is geography agnostic, but she notes that a large proportion of her clients come from the Middle East. One key focus for her and her team is preparing the next generation, who want clarity and separation of tasks and roles within the family office space.

No matter the client, Ilie says, ‘What we’re trying to do every single time is be as impartial and as objective as possible.’
