Family Wealth Report, a business intelligence publication for the family office community, recently interviewed Bill Woodson, Lecturer in Columbia's Wealth Management program and Executive Vice President and Head of Wealth Advisory and Family Office Services at Boston Private.
In "Guiding Advisors, Principals On Family Offices," Woodson discusses his new book, The Family Office: A Comprehensive Guide for Advisers, Practitioners, and Students, as well as his thoughts on innovation in the industry, setting firm culture, and advice on setting up and running family offices. Below, Woodson answers why Columbia launched its Master's in Wealth Management.
The wealth management industry has warned of a looming advisor succession crisis. But changing retirement patterns, AI-driven scale, and a broader talent pool may be rewriting the equation.
Jo Jose (’25SPS), a faculty associate and alum, shares how the M.S. in Technology Management program connects students with industry leaders, collaborative projects, and practical marketing experience.
