About James Lindsay
Since joining Morgan Stanley in 2013, James has served as a strategic partner to founders, Single Family Offices, C-suite executives, athletes and entertainers, addressing the complex needs associated with significant wealth. As a Family Wealth Director—a designation reserved for those adept at managing the multifaceted requirements of ultra-high-net-worth families—he acts as a high-level curator of the firm’s global institutional platform, delivering vast intellectual capital and infrastructure in a bespoke, streamlined manner.
Central to his approach is a "same side of the table" philosophy, where James functions as a strategic extension of the Single-Family Offices he serves. By leveraging an intimate understanding of global capital markets, he identifies opportunistic investment strategies that align with each family's unique vision and long-term objectives.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) and a member of the Estate Planning Council of New York City, James provides a comprehensive approach to business transitions and legacy preservation. His work focuses on ensuring a client’s corporate success is thoughtfully integrated with their personal and philanthropic goals.
James is a graduate of Villanova University’s School of Business. He resides in New York City with his wife, Rachel, and their son, Owen. A dedicated supporter of Villanova, he enjoys staying active, traveling, and spending time with his family on the North Fork of Long Island.
