William Boutros is a discreet force in the world of international inheritance recovery and cross-border asset intelligence. Based in Lebanon, born to a Lebanese father and an English mother, a heritage that gives him an international perspective. With a PhD in Quantitative Economics and Econometrics from Princeton University and over 30 years of experience advising high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, he brings a rare combination of analytical depth, financial expertise, and genealogical insight to the most complex succession cases.
His career began in finance, where he served as a chief economist and family historian for HNW and UHNW clients at Washington Mutual, advising legacy families on asset structures, generational wealth, and cross-border estate risks. That role placed him at the heart of strategic family governance, often operating behind the scenes to trace, validate, and secure inheritance claims across multiple jurisdictions.
