Private Client Services
Private IT Specialist to UHNW Principals & Single Family Offices
Discreet, hands-on technology support for private households and single family offices — residence systems, cybersecurity, devices and vendor coordination, delivered by a vetted specialist under strict confidentiality.
Who this is for
Three audiences, one standard of discretion
The role sits between household staff, family office operations and external vendors — and is judged on judgement, not jargon.
Principals & families
A single, familiar point of contact for everything technical at home — without technical language, and without a rotating cast of contractors.
Single family offices
Support for the office and the residences: devices, connectivity, secure communications, continuity and staff onboarding.
Executive search & advisers
A defined capability profile for briefs covering private IT, household technology and family office systems support.
Scope of support
What the role covers
Delivered on site across Paris and Île-de-France, remotely, or in coordination with existing staff and advisers. Scope is defined per engagement.
Household & residence systems
Networks across one or several properties, Wi-Fi coverage, connectivity for offices and guest areas, coordination with AV and smart-home installers.
Cybersecurity & digital privacy
Account and identity protection, multi-factor authentication, phishing and impersonation awareness, privacy hygiene for the principal and family members.
Device fleet management
Laptops, phones and tablets for family members and staff: configuration, updates, encryption, replacement cycles and secure disposal.
Backup, archives & continuity
Structured backup of documents, photography and family archives, with tested restoration and clear retention practices.
Staff onboarding & offboarding
Controlled accounts and access for household and office staff, prompt revocation on departure, shared-credential hygiene.
Vendor & project coordination
A single technical interlocutor for installers, telecom providers and security integrators — specifications reviewed, work verified.
Travel & secondary residences
Connectivity and secure working arrangements while travelling or between residences, prepared in advance rather than improvised.
Advisory & education
Plain-language briefings for principals, family members and staff — including younger and less technical users — without condescension.
How we work
Operating principles
- Confidentiality first. Non-disclosure agreements are standard. Household details, names and arrangements are never referenced publicly — including on this site.
- One point of contact. A named specialist who learns the household and its systems, rather than a ticket queue.
- Vetted and accountable. Identity and experience verified before any engagement; work documented and reviewable.
- Agreed availability. Response windows and escalation are defined in advance and honoured — we do not advertise blanket round-the-clock claims.
- Plain language. Explanations without jargon, so decisions rest with the principal and the office.
- Data stays yours. Access is minimal, credentials are entered by their owner wherever possible, and access is revoked at the end of an engagement.
Engagement
Ways to structure the relationship
Arrangements are defined case by case according to the size of the household or office, the number of residences and the level of availability required.
Retained support
Ongoing responsibility for the household or office systems, with agreed presence and review cadence.
Part-time or embedded
Regular scheduled presence alongside existing staff, with remote cover between visits.
Project & interim
A defined mandate — a move, a new residence, a security review — or interim cover for an absent in-house specialist.
No published pricing. Terms are discussed privately once scope, residences and availability are understood. Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation, not a quotation form.
