Lowenhaupt Global Advisors Australia, the family office firm, has appointed Juliet Dunworth as its executive director.

Prior to joining the firm, Dunworth held senior roles at Credit Suisse Private Bank, Pengana Capital and Westpac Private Bank.

The appointment follows Sean Cortis' appointment as chief executive of Lowenhaupt Global Advisors Australia last April. At the time, the firm said it was positioning itself to capitalize on a new era of wealth creation in the country, which would see rising demand for complex wealth protection and transfer services.

The Australia business works closely with Lowenhaupt Global Advisors in the US, the firm said. Partnering with local firms, LGAA provides investment advisory, tax and estate planning, risk management, fiduciary services, family governance and strategic philanthropy services.
