Observations from Phyllis Bennett
For more than thirty-eight years, I have had the extraordinary privilege of serving as Chief of Staff at Moore Capital Holdings. Looking back over those decades, I consider it one of the greatest honors of my professional life to have been entrusted with helping shape an organization founded on integrity, disciplined stewardship, and a long-term vision that extends well beyond traditional measures of success.
Working alongside our Chairman, Randal G. Moore, has been both an education and an inspiration. His unwavering commitment to excellence, principled leadership, and thoughtful approach to building enduring value has defined not only our family office, but also the culture that continues to guide every aspect of our work. It has been a privilege to contribute to the evolution of an organization whose purpose has always been to preserve legacy while embracing innovation and opportunity.
Throughout my tenure, I have had the unique opportunity to participate in transformational business initiatives, strategic investments, philanthropic endeavors, and relationships with remarkable entrepreneurs, business leaders, and institutions around the world. These experiences have reinforced my belief that meaningful success is measured not simply by financial achievement, but by the lasting impact created through responsible leadership and thoughtful stewardship.
What I value most, however, are the relationships built over the years—relationships founded on trust, loyalty, discretion, and a shared commitment to excellence. Those principles have remained constant throughout my career and continue to define Moore Capital Holdings today.
As I reflect on more than three decades with this exceptional organization, I remain deeply grateful for the confidence placed in me, the remarkable experiences I have been afforded, and the opportunity to continue serving alongside Randal Moore and our dedicated team as we build upon a legacy designed to endure for generations to come.

Sugar Rautbord Board of Directors Moore Family Trust
Sugar Rautbord Appointment to The Board of Directors of The Moore Family Trust Foundation
The Moore Family Trust Foundation is honored to announce that Sugar Rautbord, a longtime and cherished friend of our Chairman, Randal “Ran” Moore, has joined the Foundation’s Board.
Ran and Sugar share a friendship spanning many years—one defined by extraordinary loyalty, mutual respect, candor, and affection. Their relationship has endured across the many chapters of their lives and has long extended to the philanthropic work and principles that guide the Moore Family Trust Foundation.
A prominent American socialite and philanthropist, Sugar Rautbord was for decades one of the most recognizable figures within Chicago’s Gold Coast social and philanthropic community before making Palm Beach, Florida, her permanent home. Throughout her life, she has been a devoted patron of charitable, cultural, and civic endeavors.
Ms. Rautbord’s contributions to the development and formation of numerous initiatives that the Moore Family Trust Foundation has endowed—and continues to support—have been invaluable. Long before accepting a formal position on the Board, her counsel, insight, and perspective were deeply respected within the Foundation.
Throughout their long friendship, Ran Moore has placed particular value upon Sugar’s candor, judgment, and unwavering dedication to the Foundation and its mission. Hers has been a trusted voice, informed not simply by philanthropy, but by a rare understanding of the people, history, and values behind it.
Ran once reflected:
“We should all be fortunate enough to have that one special person who truly knows us—and loves us despite knowing us so well. For me, that person has been Sugar Rautbord.”
The Moore Family Trust Foundation is delighted to formally welcome Sugar Rautbord to its Board. In many respects, her appointment represents not the beginning of her service to the Foundation, but the recognition and continuation of a relationship that has enriched its work for many years.
We welcome Sugar with great affection and gratitude and look forward to the leadership, perspective, and enduring commitment she will bring to the Board and to the future of the Moore Family Trust Foundation.
