About Our Team

OUR EXPERTS
Spanning property, travel, marketing and client experience, our team brings together experts from across the luxury space – from seasoned negotiators and destination specialists to creative marketers and community curators.
What unites us is our mindset: personal, proactive, and always guided by our values. We act with integrity, deliver with creativity, and build lasting connections – within our team, for our clients, and across our global network. It’s this culture of care and collaboration that makes OB Private different – and why our clients return to us, time and again.
“What started as a mutual desire between friends to live a life less ordinary in the best London homes and villas has grown into a highly sought-after service for those in the know.”
