Leah Burton
Client Administrator
Dubai
What attracted you to a career in wealth management?
My journey into wealth management commenced in 2021 when I joined a local family office in Dubai as Executive Assistant, dealing with multiple UHWNI. Following on from that I joined a boutique Swiss Wealth Management company as their client officer.
This professional path equipped me with insights into managing investments and serving clients financial needs, leading me to joining Quilter Cheviot in 2024.
How do you work with / look after clients?
Primarily supporting our small team here in Dubai, the SEO, Financial Planner and Business Development Manager. Serving as an Executive Assistant to the SEO. My role involves providing dedicated support, ensuring the smooth operation of the team’s responsibilities. My commitment to offering assistance to external IFAs also helps clients achieve their objectives.
What are your interests outside of work?
In the winter months in Dubai on days off, I am usually doing some sort of outdoor activity such as water sports or hiking. Day to day I really like to focus on fitness, but I am partial to a glass of wine or three (as a millennial we really try balance both which is a task in itself).
I used to be cabin crew so naturally I love travelling and still try to get away as much as possible to explore new countries.
