The conference spotlights an entrepreneurial journey of a successful family-owned business. The speaker will share the story of his family business, and how varied family perspectives often exist to make business both nuanced and complex.

The session will share the perspective of a third-generation participant in a family business during challenging times. The ability to communicate and confront issues and differing views is often a challenge. The speaker will share his subsequent journey as an investment banker guiding family businesses through complex ownership transition events. He will share how his family business experience became a driving force in founding a successful investment bank, EdgePoint Capital. After 25+ years and 250 successful sale events, the speaker will share his perspectives on lessons learned from guiding similar family businesses through the change and transition.
