Northern Trust Wealth Management has appointed Alyssa Quinlan to direct advisor relationships and strategic partnerships to clients with assets such as fine art and collectibles.

Quinlan, who reports to David Albright, the global head of sales, will lead the firm's relationships with professional advisors, including law and accounting firms, business advisory and investment consultants, which often intersect with client needs around collectibles, the firm said.

"Our clients rely on a network of trusted advisors, and those relationships are central to delivering sophisticated advice," Albright said in a statement. "With Alyssa's addition, we are strengthening our advisor engagement strategy while further integrating guidance around unique assets — from valuation and liquidity planning to estate and legacy strategies."

Quinlan, who brings 25 years of experience across wealth management, private banking and fine art, will also develop a dedicated platform that addresses the increasingly sophisticated needs of collectors and families with significant art holdings, according to Northern Trust.

She most recently served as CEO of Freeman's Auctions & Appraisals, where she oversaw firmwide operations, led strategic growth initiatives and guided a major merger integration. In addition, she launched and managed the Chicago office of Gurr Johns, an art advisory and appraisal group.

Earlier roles include leadership positions at J.P. Morgan Chase, BMO Private Bank and Smith Barney/Citigroup Asset Management. She also served in senior positions at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and Peterson Consulting.

Quinlan is an active member of the Economic Club of Chicago, the Chicago Estate Planning Council and The Chicago Network. She holds a B.A. from DePauw University.
