Jessica Hale is Chief Legal and Compliance Officer for GC Wealth, a next-generation wealth management platform built for transformational individuals, families, and organizations and a critical component of GC’s endeavor to go Beyond Venture. 

After working in the investment management department at Ropes & Gray LLP, Jessica went in-house to work for a client and loved the experience of building the business in partnership with colleagues. After helping the firm set up multiple offices outside of the United States, in addition to her legal work, she took on the role of Global Chief Compliance Officer, which nicely complemented her love of travel. Jessica then joined the legal department at First Republic Bank, where, after several years providing legal coverage for Private Wealth Management, she ultimately became Chief Compliance Officer for First Republic Investment Management.

Jessica is a proud graduate of The Ohio State University, for which she serves on the Political Science Alumni Advisory Board, as well as The Boston University School of Law. In addition to cheering on the Buckeyes, she is a Giants baseball fan and an avid reader, always happy to discuss books. She lives on one of San Francisco’s many hills with her husband, two children and beloved mutt.
