What makes a great leader in today’s multifamily office landscape? Strategy still counts, but the leaders making the biggest impact are also strong communicators, good listeners and thoughtful storytellers.

In this episode of The Wealth Horizon Podcast, host Rosemary Denney of Wealth Matters Consulting sits down with Kristen Oliveri, senior family office advisor at The UHNW Institute and founder of Wealth Reimagined. With a background in financial journalism and over two decades of experience in the wealth management space, Kristen brings a people-centered approach to a constantly changing industry.

Their conversation examines how leadership is responding to demographic shifts, growing generational divides and rising expectations from clients and team members. From succession planning and reverse mentorship to marketing in a digital-first world, Kristen shares what today’s advisors need to understand and what tomorrow’s leaders can’t afford to overlook.

In the episode, Kristen and Rosemary discuss:

• The modern traits of effective leadership in multifamily offices
• Why EQ and communication are now non-negotiables
• How firms can adapt to serve women, next-gen clients and new wealth creators
• What marketing gets right, and wrong, about connecting with modern audiences
• How the most successful firms handle growth, succession and visibility
• Lessons from remarkable leaders who blend professional excellence with personal generosity

For advisors and executives dealing with growth, transitions or generational change, this episode offers a renewed take on what it means to lead with purpose.
