Family Enterprise Advisor
Family Enterprises are the foundation of a country’s prosperity and economic growth. And, with about one third of Canadian family entrepreneurs planning to transition leadership of their businesses to the next generation, it’s critical they obtain strong, clear and engaged advice to help them manage this important challenge.
As a certified Family Enterprise AdvisorTM, I help family-owned and operated organizations across North America navigate the unique challenges they face. Other professionals can have longer-term relationships with the older generation or particular biases that influence their advice. As a neutral third party, I help families understand their unique family dynamics and how they impact their business.
