Practice Group Summary

Egon Zehnder’s Family Business Advisory Practice Group is part of the larger Top of the House Team. Families, owners, and managers engage the practice to navigate the challenges of leadership, succession, and governance across generations. The Family Business Advisory Practice executes a mixture of executive search and advisory projects for small to large-scale family-owned businesses across industries and stages of development. The practice provides two categories of service offerings; those tailored to the operating company (e.g., Executive Search, CEO Succession, etc.) as well as those tailored to a family (e.g., Family Gravity, Next Generation Development etc.). With a large percentage of North American businesses being family-owned or controlled, Egon Zehnder’s Family Business Advisory Practice is steadily growing and provides the opportunity to make a deep and personal impact on clients.
