She has used her skills and understanding of the entrepreneur journey to develop business and grow strategic business lines. This unique and multi-disciplinary skill set will be invaluable to our broad and growing client base at Brown Advisory.”

On joining Brown Advisory’s Private Client team, Tessa added: “I am thrilled to join one of the leading private client teams in the UK. Brown Advisory advises a wide range of individuals, families and charities, each with their own unique investment objectives and I look forward to working with them, helping to grow their portfolios over the long term.”
