 Our
Founder/President, Henry D. Landes
Integrity ... Experience ... Expertise
Henry Landes is founder and president of the Delaware Valley Family
Business Center which has served over 600 family firms since 1988.
A contributing editor of Family Business Magazine, Henry and his
clients are often featured in this leading international publication.
He is also a frequent speaker to family businesses and advisors
of family firms.
Henry helps business families speak the truth about the real issues, build strong,
effective teams (family councils, shareholder groups and executive teams) and develop
policies and plans for another generation of success. While engagements are custom designed
for each family, they typically include facilitating family meetings and/or shareholder
groups which forge family policies and shareholder commitments that establish a solid
foundation for family and business growth. Engagements also may include Board Development
and Assessment, Shareholder Education, Next-Generation Assessments and Mentoring,
Strategic Planning, and Executive Coaching.
Henry's passionate interest in family business education led to the founding of the
Delaware Valley Family Business Forum, a membership "learning community" with more than
80 family firms in the greater Philadelphia region. Members learn best practices from
each other and from experts at quarterly Forum meetings.
Growing up in a successful family business (currently integrating the 4th generation
into management and ownership) gives him a first-hand appreciation for the special
challenges facing business families. Henry received his Master's degree from the University
of North Carolina Chapel Hill and is a member of the Family Firm Institute, the National
Association of Corporate Directors(NACD), and the Association for Conflict Resolution.
He serves as Chairman of Landes Learning International and TourMagination. Henry and his
wife and business partner, Jane, have two children and two exceptional grandchildren.
