Reimagining your family office … deeply rooted for generational growth
Visioning, designing, strategic planning, optimizing, integrating, and operationalizing family office structures for families, family office leadership, and trusted advisors.
An Insider’s Firsthand Perspective. An Outsider’s Independent and Candid Approach.
At Xylogenesis™ Family Office Advisory, we understand firsthand. As an independent family office consulting firm, we are led by Rich Wolkowitz, who has decades of experience living and working inside of family offices. Our singular goal is to help families, family office staff, and/or their trusted advisors to vision, design, structure, optimize, integrate and operationalize the unique family office services and needs in a customized manner to achieve durable family harmony, financial prosperity, and operational excellence.
“Family offices achieve success by focusing on three intertwined principles: nurturing durable family harmony, financial prosperity, and operational excellence. The family office should be ensconced in the same business discipline and superior emotional intelligence that created the wealth, all starting with the 'why' and an appreciation of continuous evolution and continuous improvement."

Healthy Growth for Family Offices

The tree rings record a rich history of the tree’s growth, health, sickness, and even trauma. A family and its enterprise have a history like this, too. Discover how we use this “regenerational” approach to create multi-generational family office success.
