A Move That Mirrors Our Mission
This year, I made a personal and professional leap: I relocated from Portugal to Dubai to join Kingsbury & Partners as Head of Private Office.
It was an easy decision to move to Dubai — professionally and personally, it made perfect sense. However, what I hadn’t anticipated were the number of unforeseen procedures and challenges involved in getting properly settled. Like many of the clients we now support, I had a thousand tabs open in my mind. Visa rules, accommodation searches, utilities, banking, converting my driving licence—and all the while, preparing to start a new role in a new country.
Even with years of experience in lifestyle concierge and luxury services – and having relocated to seven different countries myself – I found the relocation process to be more fragmented than it should be. Information was scattered. Timelines felt uncertain. And I had the advantage of knowing what questions to ask.
A Market in Need of a Better Solution
That’s why I joined Kingsbury & Partners. Because the market is crying out for a private office that doesn’t just manage wealth, but supports the full picture: lifestyle, career, family, and business.
Our Private Office exists to solve a problem I lived through myself. We help high-net-worth individuals, families and entrepreneurs relocate with clarity and confidence. No more scattered solutions, no more generic relocation firms pushing templates that don’t fit.
Whether you’re moving for investment reasons, launching a business, or bringing your family to the UAE, the details matter. You need a team who knows how to navigate the red tape, but also understands the softer side of the move—finding a home that suits your lifestyle, schools that fit your values, and connections that make settling in feel seamless.
Where I believe Kingsbury & Partners stands out is access. Our clients don’t just get advice—they get results. We unlock a network of vetted service providers, relocation experts, investment opportunities and professional advisers, all coordinated under one roof.
There are many paths to relocation, but very few firms that understand how to map them with strategy and care. My role at Kingsbury is to ensure we do exactly that. We don’t sell services—we build solutions around real lives.
For business owners and entrepreneurs especially, the relocation journey can feel overwhelming. The stakes are high, and the pace is fast. I know what it means to build something from the ground up while adjusting to a new country. That’s why I’m passionate about helping our clients protect their time, preserve their energy, and focus on what matters most.
