About

As a Family Business expert, I have accompanied business families in the different processes towards the transmission of their legacy; integrating new generations and implementing methodologies that create sustainable businesses and align the vision of the family and its values. Over more than 25 years I have guided business families in Latin America, Europe, and the United States, in the process of designing family protocols, professionalization processes, effective decision making, and conflict resolution, through proven models and methodologies with a client's high satisfaction level. I’m also an active teacher in family business issues around the world, addressing lessons to owners of wealth and the professionals that guide them.
