Independently owned international multi-family-office Stonehage Fleming has appointed Johan van Niekerk to the newly created position of head of family office (US).

Mr van Niekerk joined Stonehage Fleming in 2007 and, prior to his new appointment, served as partner and head of family office (Neuchatel, Switzerland). His main focus will be to further develop Stonehage Fleming’s family office offering in North America, bringing it in line with the service available in the eight other jurisdictions where the group operates.
