Emma co-owns and runs Corbett Keeling with her husband, Jim, who founded the firm 30 years ago. Her working career has always been in the City; she started at investment bank County NatWest as a graduate trainee in the corporate finance and capital markets divisions. She then moved to the corporate finance department of NM Rothschild, where she advised on the sale of businesses and was responsible for international deal origination.

Emma is often the first contact clients have with Corbett Keeling. She speaks to owners of private companies day in day out, building an understanding of their objectives and longer term plans for their business and establishing whether Corbett Keeling would be the right adviser to help them achieve these aims.

Emma and Jim believe passionately that all children deserve to be brought up in a loving, safe and stable home and, to this end, are in the process of setting up a fostering community at their home in Sussex.
