Transform Your Family Business Without the Overwhelm

You’ve built something meaningful. Let’s make it thrive without stress, without family tension, and without getting buried in the day-to-day.

Running a Family Business Shouldn’t Feel Like a Burden

You’re carrying the weight of legacy, people, and profit and yet, progress feels stuck. I work with family-owned businesses to help you move forward without friction.

Let’s Get Started

About Scott Gingold

I didn’t just study family business. I was raised in one. From an early age, I witnessed firsthand the complexities that arise when family, legacy, and business intersect. I’ve sat at the kitchen table during tough conversations, and I’ve been at the boardroom table navigating high stakes decisions.

Over the past six decades, I’ve founded, scaled, and exited 7 companies across a wide range of industries including Confidential Counselor, Mergers & Acquisitions, Powerfeedback, Greater Business Solutions LLC, Lehigh Valley Technology, and several others. I’ve experienced the highs of growth and the lows of uncertainty. That journey gave me an intimate understanding of what it really takes to lead a family business and where most leaders get stuck.

Today, I help family run and founder led businesses overcome internal roadblocks, navigate succession, resolve conflict, and unlock growth. Whether you're dealing with pressure behind the scenes, leadership misalignment, or simply feeling stuck in the weeds, I bring clarity, strategy, and calm to complex situations.

My approach is direct, compassionate, and results oriented. I don’t do fluff. I don’t use jargon. What I bring to the table are real conversations, rooted in experience, that lead to practical solutions and fast.

If you’re feeling the pressure of running a family business, especially one that involves legacy, expectations, and multiple voices, let’s talk. Because it doesn’t have to stay this hard.
