PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, January 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Wellington Agency, a premier household staffing firm serving ultra-high-net-worth families globally, announced a strategic

partnership with Luxury Lifestyle Logistics to introduce estate management consulting and operational optimization as formal service offerings.

The Wellington Agency has long provided consulting and mediation as part of its placement process. Through this partnership, those capabilities are elevated into a structured, post-placement advisory service designed to support the operational realities of today’s complex luxury estates.

“Our clients don’t just have one or two homes,” said April J. Berube, Founder and President of The Wellington Agency. “They may own private islands and maintain five to ten residences worldwide. That level of estate ownership requires expertise, leadership, and structure that extends far beyond traditional household staffing. This partnership allows us to meet that reality with depth and precision.”

Luxury Lifestyle Logistics, founded by Jennifer Laurence, PhD, brings on-site, practical expertise rooted in both formal education and real-world estate leadership. Laurence is the first scholar to define modern estate management as a leadership discipline formally. Her firm specializes in helping principals and estate leadership teams align vision, authority, and daily operations inside the home.

“This partnership allows clients to move beyond placement alone and into long-term clarity around how their household actually functions,” said Jennifer Laurence, PhD. “Exceptional talent is essential, but many challenges arise when leadership alignment and operational governance are unclear. My role is to support what happens after a successful hire–helping principals translate values and lifestyle preferences into systems that staff can confidently operate within. The result is not just excellent service, but stability, trust, and continuity over time.”

Within this expanded offering, optimization services focus on how household systems function in practice, not just how they were intended to work. Many families already employ strong professionals, yet service can become inconsistent when workflows, expectations, and service styles are not clearly defined. Optimization clarifies operations so that service becomes predictable, functional, and sustainable rather than personality-dependent.

Consulting services begin where placement ends. While the Wellington Agency continues to identify and place top-tier talent, Luxury Lifestyle Logistics supports families during onboarding, periods of transition, or restructuring. This on-site, diagnostic work helps clarify decision-making, authority, and communication, which can prevent misalignment from becoming turnover or conflict.
