The FamCap 50 Advisors

​

Published by Family Capital on July 30, 2024 (Full Article)

​

"The FamCap 50 Advisors recognizes the top (non-academic) advisors in the global family enterprise sector. These individuals excel in supporting family businesses across various areas, including finance, law, executive search, consultancy, and training.

 

This exclusive list was curated by Family Capital through extensive polling of its readership earlier this year. It involved a thorough review of the nominees' activities and a detailed assessment of their impact and influence within the family enterprise ecosystem.

 

The aim was to shine a spotlight on commercial advisors working in the family business domain, excluding those affiliated with academic institutions—a separate ranking for such advisors will be released later this year.

 

The selected individuals, along with the organizations they represent, are making a significant difference by enhancing the family enterprise ecosystem and improving the experience for all stakeholders in the sector.

 

Additionally, Family Capital has highlighted the Top Ten advisors for their exceptional contributions to the world of family enterprises. The remaining advisors are listed in alphabetical order."
