With over 20 years of experience in alternative assets, Joe has built his career around technical depth, operational rigour and a hands-on approach to team and client leadership.
Tell us a bit about your career journey. What brought you to Langham Hall?
My career in alternatives started in 2004. After grad school, I moved into the fund services space, joining a firm as employee number 50 and spending seven years helping to scale the business. That experience taught me a lot about how to build teams and deliver service at pace.
What stood out about Langham Hall was its partner-led structure. It reminded me more of a mid-sized law firm than a traditional service provider: thoughtful, senior-led and genuinely invested in client outcomes.
How do you approach your role day to day?
My day moves between commercial development, client relationships and making sure the team has what they need to deliver excellent service. I like to stay close to the work, but not to micromanage. I would rather show someone how to solve a problem than just tell them what to do.
What does strong leadership look like in your view?
It is about clarity, consistency and accountability, including holding yourself accountable. At Langham Hall, we build culture through apprenticeship: weekly team sessions, open problem solving and mentoring built into how we work.
What makes this moment exciting for the US office?
The US remains one of the most active fund markets globally. Managers here move at pace and expect the same from their service partners, but they also value depth, stability and real engagement.
That is where our model fits. Clients want senior people who understand their business, can solve problems quickly and provide consistency across jurisdictions. That combination of responsiveness and technical confidence is something they are not always used to and it has made a real differentiator for us. When new opportunities come through referrals, it speaks volumes about the trust and relationships we are building and service we are delivering.
As Langham Hall’s US presence continues to grow, Joe remains focused on doing things the right way: with purpose, precision and a clear commitment to client service. With a strong foundation in place, the team is focused on scaling thoughtfully, deepening client relationships, attracting top-tier talent and reinforcing Langham Hall’s reputation as a trusted partner in one of the world’s most dynamic fund markets.
