Beatrice Advisors

Beatrice Advisors

Christina Lewis started Beatrice Advisors in 2022. She is the daughter of Reginald F. Lewis, who built the first African-American-owned company to reach $1 billion in revenue. Lewis previously founded the nonprofit Giving Gap and serves as vice chair of the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation. The firm operates as an independent multi-family office that also maintains her single-family office, BFO21. Beatrice constructs portfolios through fund-of-funds commitments and direct allocations to niche private-credit strategies, with stated interest in special situations. The firm maintains exposure across public equities, hedge funds, and private markets. Geographic reach centers on North America with additional academic and philanthropic ties in Europe through team members' prior roles at Man Group and Third Avenue Funds. Confirmed relationships include former colleagues from Carnegie Corporation, Millennium Management, and IBM Retirement Funds. The firm employs more than ten professionals across investment, advisory, and operations roles. Meredith Bowen serves as President and CIO. Additional offices are not disclosed. Beatrice maintains board and advisory affiliations with the Cleveland Museum of Art, University Hospitals, and Columbia Business School. In February 2025 the firm appointed Lauren Rich Fine as Partner, Investments and Business Development. Beatrice differs from typical multi-family offices through its explicit linkage to a single-family office vehicle and its academic network of impact-investing instructors at Yale, Fordham, and UC Haas. The structure allows client families to access the same investment committee and sourcing channels used for the Lewis family capital.
