He helps owners explore and identify their wealth objectives, vision, and strategy for the future of their assets. A core dimension of Mr. Peck’s work is to help families, including next generation members, build the understandings, capabilities, and confidence to make wise strategic decisions about how to invest their capital to grow wealth across generations.
Mr. Peck integrates his research capabilities with his expertise in corporate finance to analyze family companies and portfolios and their industries, competitive landscapes, financial investments, and risk exposure. With this analysis, he educates ownership groups and facilitates conversations and processes that lead the owners to understand what they own and where value within their enterprise is being created today and can be created in the future. He supports family owners in the execution of their total wealth strategies, which can include considering acquisitions and divestitures, diversification, experimentation into new growth areas, private equity, direct investing, and funding early-stage companies of interest to the next generation.
Mr. Peck’s career spans 30 years and includes portfolio management, investment banking, business analysis, and sell-side research, as well as advising investment committees, family offices, and a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on potential acquisitions.
