Empowering
Founders and
Families To Thrive
Wingspan partners with founders
and family enterprises to design and
build their enduring legacies.
We’re here to listen
A family business is more than just a business. It is an ecosystem where family dynamics intersect with business, wealth, and philanthropy.
Many Founders and Families attempt to navigate these dynamics alone, which can be difficult. At Wingspan, we listen carefully to your unique situation, offer candid, comprehensive guidance and implement purpose-built solutions that enable multigenerational fulfillment.

Family Businesses
While venture capital backed businesses dominate the popular media, family businesses dominate the economy. Globally, family firms constitute two thirds of all businesses, generate 70-90% of global GDP and create 50-80% of jobs in most countries. The opportunity for impact is huge, but so are the challenges. Family businesses oftentimes struggle to design the right scaffolding to ensure the business and the family can flourish for generations. Wingspan exists to help with these issues and maximize effectiveness and longevity of family businesses.
Who we serve
We work with Founders and Families worldwide who have businesses that have lasted for generations—or who are building businesses that will. Our Founders and Families all have different goals and aspirations, come from different cultures, and have different kinds of expertise. But each one is a values-driven, high-integrity, visionary influencer who aspires to create change in their industries and countries.
Family Offices
According to Campden data, the number of family offices grew 38% between 2017 and 2019, and that pace isn’t slowing. Family office backed deals accounted for 10% of the entire deals market in 2021. Yet, the industry remains remarkably shrouded: ask three different people what a family office is, and there will be three vastly different answers. Having seen the inner workings of a multitude of family offices around the globe, Wingspan is uniquely positioned to help families and founders determine the approach that’s right for them, to see around corners to prevent common issues., and to help pave the way for multigenerational success.

The Taboo Topics We Avoid and How to Talk About Them
Age, retirement, succession, money. Most families and leadership teams steer around these topics until the silence costs more than the conversation would. Wingspan founder Christina Wing draws on decades of work with family enterprises to give you the tools to start those talks.
