The Sequoia Family Office would service investors with investable funds of $5 million to $100 million and would include corporate advisory and compliance, business planning, and bespoke project management.
The business would expand its wealth management business and would be headed by Sophie Chen who had over 10 years of experience in providing services and advice.
