Leslie Ramos

Spear’s Review

Leslie Ramos and Aurelie Cauchy co-founded The Twentieth in order to facilitate philanthropic funding for the arts and culture sector.

Ramos, based in the UK, and Cauchy, based in the US, serve an UHNW clientele who have a passion for the arts and who want to make a meaningful impact on a sector often overlooked by donors.

The pair bring a vast knowledge of the sector, gained through work with major cultural organisations, museums and auction houses. This informs their advice for clients, whether they are looking to set up a foundation, offer unrestricted funding to an organisation, build museums or give an art collection to the public. 

‘When it comes to the arts and culture, it’s really not enough just to be an adviser,’ Ramos tells Spear’s. ‘You have to be connected and understand the art world in order to be able to see a tangible difference and make an impact.’
