Equiom has appointed Lionel Richard as director of luxury asset services.

Richard will help strengthen coordination and further develop Equiom’s Luxury Asset Services across jurisdictions and service lines, with a particular focus on superyacht and private aviation.

According to a press release, his appointment reflects Equiom’s continued investment to meet growing demand for integrated, cross-border solutions in the ownership and management of complex luxury assets.

Jon Jennings, CEO of Equiom said: “Lionel’s appointment reflects our commitment to strengthening and evolving our global service offering in line with client needs. Luxury assets are an increasingly important component of ownership and structuring for internationally mobile private and corporate clients, bringing with them a unique combination of regulatory, operational and cross-border considerations.”

Richard brings more than 17 years’ experience in the international superyacht and luxury asset sector, including senior leadership positions within global superyacht businesses.

Fluent in both French and English, his experience spans Europe and the UK, including key industry hubs such as London and Monaco, and includes advising on the full lifecycle of luxury asset ownership, from acquisition through to operation and long-term management.

Richard said: “The ownership and management of luxury assets is becoming increasingly complex, particularly for clients operating across multiple jurisdictions. There is a clear need for a coordinated approach that brings together governance, structuring and day-to-day administration in a seamless way. Equiom is well positioned to deliver this, with a strong global platform and deep expertise across private wealth, family office and corporate services.”
