Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Richard Wolkowitz, Founder of Xylogenesis Family Office Advisory. Rich serves as a family advisor with 25+ years of first-hand, inner-working experience of multiple family offices. His background is in law, business, management, operations, financial services, independent board service, and professional service firm leadership with a focus on serving multigenerational families and their full business and life continuum of needs.
Throughout his career, Rich has served many multigenerational families and one thing he has witnessed often how families would get stuck as they try to build, transition, or manage their enterprise. He shares his observations on how and why families tend to get stuck in the course of their complex journeys. The obvious question then is: How can families get “unstuck”? Rich talks about the mindsets, strategies, and activities that can help families overcome the main challenges that get them stuck.
Rich offers some practical pointers and suggestions for family leaders and family members who find themselves stuck and want to “right the ship” as they steer the family enterprise forward. He also shares his advice to family advisors and service providers who support the family, and provides some tips on how family wealth advisors, expert vendors, and service providers across different vertical disciplines can help the families they serve get unstuck.
Enjoy this insightful conversation with a prominent practitioner in the family wealth and family office space.
