Lasting Impact Through Excellent Leaders
We are a Pan-European leadership advisory firm working with owners and boards.
Our heritage is in family business. Our clients today also include private capital, majority-controlled and selected listed companies. We advise on CEO and board appointments, leadership assessment, ownership and governance effectiveness.
We help ensure that businesses are led by the right people and governed with clarity of purpose.
the next governance transition
AvS Advisors joins the M&A Community for a live webinar with host Ashley Melidosian. Against KPMG’s finding that many family enterprises aim to shift from family-run to family-owned, board-governed structures by 2035, Andreas von Specht and Frederik Otto unpack four trends reshaping family business governance right now – and what good governance looks like in practice.
We will cover the shift from family-run to family-owned enterprises, why most succession plans stall despite leaders calling them critical, where AI adoption is outrunning board oversight, and a practical roadmap from informal to fiduciary governance.
