Rockefeller Global Family Office

For Bill Ramette, helping clients build wealth is only part of the story. The greater goal is helping them use that wealth wisely—to create freedom, security, and opportunity for the people and causes they care about most. As Managing Director and Private Advisor at Rockefeller Global Family Office in Oak Brook, Bill works closely with families, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders to bring purpose and precision to every financial decision.

Bill began his wealth advisory career more than 25 years ago with a simple belief: good advice should make life easier, not more complicated. That philosophy still drives him today. “It’s not about chasing returns,” Bill says. “It’s about helping people define success on their own terms, then designing a plan that gets them there.”

At Rockefeller, Bill draws on the firm’s global reach and independent perspective to deliver tailored solutions in investment management, wealth transfer, and business succession planning. He helps clients see their financial picture as a whole—integrating investments, estate planning, and risk management into one cohesive strategy that evolves with their goals.

In an unpredictable financial world, Bill provides clarity and calm. He works to ensure that clients feel prepared for both opportunities and challenges, building plans that are flexible, tax-efficient, and built to last. His approach blends analytical skill with an instinct for connection, creating partnerships that often span generations.

As a lifelong Midwesterner, Bill values long-term relationships and the sense of community that comes from helping clients close to home. He regularly collaborates with accountants, attorneys, and other trusted professionals to ensure every detail aligns with a family’s vision for the future. It’s a process that reflects both Rockefeller’s legacy of excellence and Bill’s personal commitment to service and integrity.

For those seeking an experienced advisor who leads with insight and empathy, Bill offers more than financial guidance—he offers the confidence that comes from knowing your future is in good hands.

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped.
Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten.

The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.
Kristin Bailey said she saw an ad about the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and decided it was a good fit for Owen.

“He’s always been really into books,” Bailey said. “He had a natural interest in books at nine months old. That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.”

Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022.

“Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.”

Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment.

Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal.

“Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
